Standing Stones in Sardinia (Sardegna)

Beyond the hill on the east side of the village of Villa Sant'Antonio, some standing stones can be found. Now they are almost swallowed by thorny bush, there are tiny or fallen stones around so they might have been a stone row.
Escaping eastbound from the village, there are 3 signspots indicating "Cara Bassa menhirs" direction on the way, first 2 ones instruct 'go straight', somehow the last and nearset one instruct the wrong way 'climb the hill', the stones can be seen oppsite side, at the bottom of the hill, near the bridge.
