Description
NAR SH28SW8

Two tall and dramatic monoliths stand 3.3m apart on the crest of a saddle beteen two hillocks.
The stones are both tall slabs about 3.0m high, 0.9m wide and 0.2-0.3m thick.
There is a tradition of a bones, spear heads and arrow heads being found in a cist between the two stones and that they stood at the centre of a circle of 1.3-1.6m high stones. This is not confirmed.
