Notes
This is a cairn circle at the east end of the Trowlesworthy Warren (W) stone row. "At the east is a 4.5m. diameter circle of 10 stones; average height 0.4m. There is no visible cairn or cist in the centre. Two upright stones immediately to the north west of the circle are probably associated. "References
