The stone circle is in southwest Cornwall north of the road from Madron to Morvah, and is approximately 1 km northwest of the village of Boskednan and can only be reached on foot.

Six stones stand upright, one sits half a metre out of the ground, the others remain lying in the soil.

The stones are all about 1 m high, the highest measure approximately 2 m and stand to northern edge of the circle.

[3] Stone circles such as that at Boskednan, were erected in the late Neolithic or in the early Bronze Age by representatives of a Megalithic culture.

Borlase described his discoveries in 1872 in his work Naenia Cornubiae, which concerns prehistoric monuments of Cornwall.
