29/06/2022 - Nothing to see of this one now sadly. The stone rows are gone as road improvements have destroyed the site. Canmore does mention six stones remaining in 1981. There are a few near the bottom of the road widening that are a maybe. thelonious Posted by thelonious

There used to be 14 or 15 parallel rows of stones, forming in outline a semicircle. The stones are set with there broad faces in the line of direction which is SSE- NNW, the stones are low and pointed none higher than 2.5 ft tall . Alas, road widening and "improving" destroyed almost the whole site and now only 6 stones remain and they are lightly set
