Standing Stones

This impressively situated pair of standing stones are at the end of a track leading from a sheep farmers farmyard / house. This is real sheep farming company so not really the kind of place for bringing a dog.
The standing stones are both about 1.8m high. On fourwinds website it reckons it found signs of an unrecorded stone circle in the vicinity.
