Situated immediately to the S. of XXII, and adjoining the road (dolmen-circle). "This is also a double circle, and about the same diameter (40 feet) as XXII; but the outer circle is nearly destroyed, and the covering of the cromleac is displaced. It (the table-stone) measures 13 feet in circumference, 4 feet 4 ins. long, and 1 foot 6 ins. thick - Petrie.
