bishop_pam visited on 28th Apr 2019 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 4 Access: 4 Opposite County Gate car park there is a bridlepath. Follow this for 50 yards or so and you will see a grass path in front of you heading up to the top of the hill. The path goes off to the right from the bridlepath just before a signpost. Follow it almost to the top, where you will find the stones.

Yenworthy submitted by bishop_pam : Two lovely stones almost at the top of the hill opposite County Gate car park (Vote or comment on this photo)
A lovely pair of standing stones, each about a metre tall, stood about 30 metres from each other, to the east and almost at the top of the hill opposite County Gate car park on Exmoor. These stones stand near to the remains of two round barrows, which may or may not be contemporary with them.

With thanks to bishop_pam for the additional information.
