This third stone in the foreground may or may not be part of the stone setting. The southernmost stone can be seen in the distance directly behind. The line of white blobs beyond are sheep!

Three stones stand by the road here. One of them may simply be a boulder standing on end as it does not seem to be particularly earthfast. At least two of them were intentionally set here in the distant past.

The stones are very close to the road, but can still be easily missed amongst the heather depending on the time of year.

The two definite standing stones stand a little under a metre tall, are a little over a metre broad, and are about 20cm thick. The third stone is just half a metre tall and 40cm thick.
