The stone circle consists of seven thin standing stones arranged in the shape of an ellipse measuring 21.6 by 18.9 metres.[2] Five of the stones are standing and two have fallen.[1] The stones vary from 2 to 3.3 metres in height.[1] A slab, 1.4 metres long, lies in front of the western stone, pointing towards the centre of the circle.[1] The stone circle surrounds a cairn with a diameter of 8.5 metres.[1]
When 3 feet (1 metre) of peat was removed from the site in 1848, four holes were noticed, three grouped in an arc at the northwest, a fourth at the south-west.[2] Wood charcoal found in them suggests that they formed an earlier timber circle about 10 metres in diameter.[2]
