The stones lie in a private farmers field. There doesn't appear to be public access, and I wasn't sure where to ask.
The southern stone is about 9-10 foot high, broad on two faces, narrow on the others, it is also rather crooked. The northern stone is rather smaller and not so narrow.
Both stones are covered in lichen.
The stones are difficult to see from the road.
