markj99 visited on 30th Nov 2018 I would imagine that the absence of a N stone is attributable to the stone being removed by Ferntower Golf Course. There is also the unusual feature of a 6 foot standing stone c. 10 yards ENE of the four poster. This unusual arrangement of stones appears to have been modified by man over time.
