In pasture, on gentle W-facing slope. Mentioned by D.J. O'Sullivan (1955, 1). Two upright, roughly parallel, sandstones slabs 1.52m apart. Most northerly stone measures H 1.25m; 0.82m x 0.22 (long axis WNW-ESE); second stone measures H 0.95m; 1.2m x 0.34m (long axis ENE-WSW). Boulder (H 0.83m; 0.68m x 0.94m) lies embedded 0.62m S of second stone. Slab (L.45m) leans against the most northerly stone; yet another slab (L 1.17m) lies immediately to E; according to local information, these were originally one stone which rested atop the two uprights and has since broken. Slight mound (H 0.3m) around stones possibly result of erosion by cattle and dumping of small field clearance stones.
