Visit Notes

Saturday, 23rd June 2007

This site certainly added a bit of interest to the trip. The OS map has it marked as a standing stone, but it's clearly a pair. I'd actually nearly given up looking for the site, because I was at the wrong bend in the lane! It wasn't until I started to drive off from the wrong spot - in the wrong direction - that I realised what I'd done.

The taller stone is a shade under 2m tall. It is square in cross-section and smooth-sided. Its partner couldn't be more different. It is just 1m tall and semicircular. The two stones couldn't be much more different.

The views to the east are great, but trees block off the views in other directions.
