Located on a hillside terrace with a wide view, similar to Aikey Brae (11) circle, this circle is 17.1 m in diameter. A recumbent, 2 flankers (1 of which is fallen), 5 erect stones and 1 fallen stone make up this circle, and enclose a cairn with slight traces of an inner kerb.

Excavations by Prof. Richard Bradley will be resumed in spring 2000.
