There are eleven stones in an small irregular ring with the tallest stone being 1.3m high Image They are thought to be the remaining kerb stones of a Bronze Age Round Cairn. The stone in the foreground has geometrical carvings consisting of a spiral and five concentric circles. There are similar carvings on Long Meg, the monolith at the nearby stone circle of Long Meg & Her Daughters Image, and on one of the kerb stones of the nearby Glassonby Round Cairn Image Another carved stone also found at Little Meg is now in the Penrith Museum. http://www.stone-circles.org.uk/stone/littlemeg.htm
