These stones are in a field just off the road. you can park in the farm lane. There is a cross incised on the face of the righthand stone. The Society of Antiquaries state that this is one the first examples of a symbol of the Christian faith to be placed on a stone of a pre-historic group.

I think that the cross on the right-hand stone is more likely mediæval or later
