As I parked up outside the school at the foot of the hill I got a tantalizing glimpse of the stones on the brow of the hill. Excellent! They're still there and they are standing! Now, how to get to them; I didn't fancy climbing through the school to do it, so I asked at the bungalow next door and a young lad said just go through the gate at the side and walk up. So I did.
This is one lovely row. Three stones, each 1.7m tall and 2.5m apart stand not on top of the hill, but just to one side of the top so that they can be seen from below - but not fully.
Each one is a different shape - a triangular one, a tall one and a wide, square one. Only the centre stone is vertical, the other two each lean out in opposite directions, making it look quite comical when viewed along the row.
The views are quite excellent to the west, but high trees block what I imagine could be a spectacular view to the east and north east.
The stones are aligned NE-SW.
