These stones really took some finding. First of all I could not find the lane that seems to lead up to the stones from the south. Then the first farmer I saked didn't know anything about them, even though he'd lived just below for 25 years. His son very kindly took me to see another local farmer who did know about them. Apparently they are known as "The Long Woman's Grave" hereabouts.
The stones are a bit of a disappointment really. With such a grand name you would expect them to be huge, but sadly only one broken stump remains. Lying nearby is a piece of stone that could have broken off the top of the stump. 50m away in the same field there is another fallen stone that does look a little bit like a sarcophagus lid, which is perhaps where the "Long Woman" comes into the story.
Next to the field wall to the south there is an odd pile of stones, which may actually be the remains of a megalithic tomb.
