Feature 1: is a moderately sized stepped cromlech built of three concentric rings of small to medium-sized basalt blocks. The larger stones of the outer ring are the most conspicuously worked to establish the curving line of the feature. The stones of the second ring are shaped but the small blocks of the inner ring are irregular and unworked. Inside this final ring are 2 medium unworked blocks and a very large capstone boulder that rises 0.8m above the ground.
Feature 2: is a sizable mounded cromlech 7m in diameter east-west and 6m north-south, yielding a slightly distended aspect to the construction. The outer ring is built of lightly-worked, medium and large basalt blocks while the mound appears to be made of earth. The mound rises 0.7m above the surrounding territory at its maximum height.
