The monument includes three standing stones, five recumbent stones, a partly buried stone and the archaeologically sensitive area between and around these features. The site is located on the west side of the shallow saddle 450m SSE of Black Barrow. The nine stones are set out in three parallel rows of three and occupy an area 7m by 9m. The three standing stones form the northern corner of the site and are all leaning, though earthfast. The standing stones are of a uniform size 250mm high, 300mm wide and 150mm thick. The recumbent stones are between 1m and 300mm long and are all about 300mm wide. The partly buried stone is at least 500mm long by 300mm wide. Two of the standing stones are in erosion hollows.
