The cromlech made of many, mostly less than one meter high, closely spaced stones forms a rounded square with sides 40 to 50 meters long. On the southern, ascending side there is a 10 to 15 meter high natural rock, from which the Cromlech extends in both directions and, connecting other natural rocks, encloses the area.

Inside the cromlech are some weathered granite slabs, one of which is 2.5 m long and has a large gap. Nearby is the Rochesseux dolmen .
