These three standing stones are located inside a private garden just one metre away from a garage and two metres away from a stone fence surrounding the garden. It consists of three pretty standing stones. The ground is of short grass and some trees have been planted around the garden.
The tallest stone is 3.5 metres in height, 1 metre to 40cm wide and around 20cm thick. The stone abruptly gets narrower 1.5 metres above the ground.
The second stone is 2 metres in height, 80 to 40cm wide and around 20cm thick.
The third stone is 1.7 metres in height, around 80 to 30cm wide and around 40cm thick. It narrows closer to the top.
The stones are placed in a triangle with around 2 metres space between the stones.
