The stone circle east of King's Crags is one of a small number of surviving stone circles in Northumberland. It is well preserved and remains undisturbed and will add to our understanding of Neolithic/Early Bronze Age settlement and activity in the area.

The monument includes a small stone circle of Bronze Age date situated immediately below the top of a south-facing slope. The circle measures 9m in diameter and is composed of 11 stones protruding above ground level to varying heights. Eight of the stones stand to a height of 0.1m, one in the eastern arc is 0.6m high, and two in the southern arc stand to 0.6m and 1m respectively.
