A delightful little four stone alignment situated on a little ledge that runs around the hill, aligned NW-SE.

The shorter stone, at the NW, is just 40cm high and the SE stone is around 1.1m tall. The other stones rise accordingly.

At the moment the trees on the slope below are quite small and so the views can be appreciated to a degree.

The trees below the stones that were small on my previous visit have now grown to a height where all the views are blocked. From the track that leads into the woods it is possible to fully take in the views that would have once been available from here. Wonderful!
