A stone (0.73m x 0.51m; T 0.2m) lying immediately to the N of the gap may have been part of the alignment. Beyond the last upright at the E end, and separated from it by a wedged in stone, are two stones side by side, leaning heavily to the N. Two stones are exposed c. 1-2m to the W of the alignment, the easternmost of which may be outcropping rock. An outcropping rock face rises c. 5m to the S of the alignment and the base of the face is strewn with slabs of rock.
