Currently, 64 large stones remain standing in the circle, though archaeologists believe there may have been up to 80 originally. The site sits atop what appears to be a disturbed artificial platform, roughly half a metre high, which could be the remnants of a cairn’s base. Within the circle’s interior, several large stones protrude from the surface, including a triangular standing stone in the southwest sector, whilst one stone on the northeast side bears distinctive cupmarks on its internal face.

The monument has suffered considerable disturbance over the centuries, particularly in the 19th century when, according to Ordnance Survey memoirs from 1836, a vast heap of stones that once filled the interior was removed to build local field walls. Thomas Fagan, visiting in 1846, noted that locals told him the interior had been raised with earth and stones covering sepulchral graves, and that decayed bones had been discovered during the stone removal. More recent interference occurred in the 1930s, leaving loose stones scattered against the perimeter megaliths and across the interior surface. Some researchers have suggested the site may have contained a megalithic chamber, possibly even a passage tomb, though excavation would be needed to confirm this theory.

Adding to the site’s intrigue, a two metre tall outlying standing stone stands southeast of the main circle, which astronomer Boyle-Somerville proposed may have been used alongside horizon features to determine astronomical alignments. Just 60 metres southwest of the stone circle, on a slight terrace below the hilltop summit, lies a curious 35 metre diameter circular area marked as ‘Graveyard’ on early Ordnance Survey maps; defined by stone wall boundaries except for an open western side. While the exact nature and age of this feature remains unclear, its proximity to the stone circle suggests a possible connection between the two sites, hinting at a ritual landscape that may have been in use for millennia.
