Megalithic 4, a pit circle measuring 9·75 × 5·18 m in diameter, contained a double line of circle stones while down the slope a large number of granite boulders were used as circle stones, the smaller ones being on the slope of Megalith 5, a huge cairn circle located on a steep slope with an outer diameter of 10·66 m. It appears that from the discovery of a fragmentary pot overlying the cairn stones in the n.-e. portion of the area that some funeral rites had been performed.
