Full Description
NF60NE 10 6949 0962
E11: A stone ring, of about 70 stones, forming an oval about 14.5 x 12m. The largest atone is about 1m wide, and two stones are set upright with a narrow gap between them on the W side. The area inside the ring is slightly hollowed, and there are just two large stones lying within it. The site invites comparison with NF60SE 32 in a similarly exposed position and with NL69NW 60.
