Next to the abandoned farm lies the first (officially listed as No. 5) of six stone circles, probably built between 1800 and 1600 BC. It is called "Fingal's Cauldron Seat" and consists of two rings of low granite blocks. The inner ring has a diameter of 11.5 m, and the oval, imperfectly concentric outer ring appears to be a circle of former curbstones. A stone cist was found in the center in the 19th century.
