Andrewnturner visited on 16th Dec 2022 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 4 Access: 3 Visited in December so undergrowth has died back helping to make access and visibility easier. I am guessing it would be trickier in the summer.
The stones are just visible from the footpath, and from there access is down a slight dip and up a bank to the field boundary wall where the stones are placed.
Marko visited on 30th Mar 2018 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 3 Access: 3 Easier to find than I thought. The fact that the stones had been moved from their original location to the field boundary some time in the distant past kind of reflected in the lack of ambience but was still worth the walk to it.. Pleased to say that the barbed wire fences mentioned on other members site logs are now 'down'.

Both of the stones show sign of wear, the 'finger' is very rilled, while the ring has some old graffiti on it. When we visited there were lots of flies around and electric fences to beware of.
We also found some good candidates for mound material at SJ70703776 and SJ70703776. Please note this site is on private land and permission should be sought before visiting.
