TheCaptain visited on 17th Sep 2024 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 3 Access: 3 From the High Bridestones I now drive down the hill to the northwest and am able to park in a big area where the bridleway crosses, and an entry road to a quarry. From here it is easy to walk out towards the Lower Bridestones, which I don’t remember finding before (I was being rushed), but it is now much easier with the detailed maps available through the Megalithic Portal which show three groups of stones. A couple of hundred yards along the bridleway and then head southeast up the slope to look for the first of three groups marked on the detailed OS map. Yes, theres the top of a stone peeking above the long grass. And another. Three in a line to start, then a good look around in the boggy ground and there are many stones to be found, maybe a couple of lines across the slope, but to be honest, they could be almost anything. I now see a couple of bigger stones standing above the long grass to the west of here, which must be the second group, so head over towards them, which is not quite so straightforward with the long couchgrass and a very boggy area between me and them. Approaching them and I can first see three stones standing in a line across the slope, and several confusing sheep, which look just like more. When I get to them, it is clear that there are many more stones here, again forming a perhaps a couple of lines around the hill, but its all a bit obscured in the long marsh grass, and a bit of a megalithic mess. The upper line seems to go on for a fair distance, with one stone after another to be found. Further over to the northeast a sort of circle of stones is shown on the map, so I wander over for a look. Without GPS and detailed map ths would be impossible to find, but I do get here and find a small cairn like pile of stones, but no semblance of a stone circle.
It is uncertain as to exactly what these stones are the remains of, and indeed of any dating.
