Possible remains of a badly damaged Triple Stone Row in Somerset. This site was surveyed as part of the Exmoor national Park Authority's survey on the condition of standing stones on its land. The survey states that the area around kite-shaped setting of five stones was heavily grazed by cattle at the time of the visit (10/01). Erosion was noted around two of the stones.
