These stones took some finding and I would not have stood a chance from just the OS map, because on the new blue sheet 29 they have marked the stones in the wrong place (the old red sheet shows them in the correct place along the lane to the west of the road, not in a field to the east.) Luckily the lady that lives in the bungalow in front of the stones was in her garden and could give me directions.
There are just two of the original three stones still standing in a gorse hedgerow at the side of a farm track - the third lies in the hedge somewhere. The gorse has been cleared from between the stones so you can see them quite well. Their alignment is roughly east-west.
The east stone is 1.4m tall and has a vertical split in it, so that one thin slice hangs off the side. The other stone is 1.6m tall and has been cut into a very nice cuboid block with very flat surfaces. I think this is the most worked stone I have seen in a stone row.
