    The marker in the Street View satellite image is in the wrong place! You can easily see the stones are on the other (N) side of the road.

This RSC is reduced to the recumbent and two flankers with a possible another stone lying beside the west flanker. The neighbouring fields are dotted with standing stones but all but one are considered to be cattle rubbing stones rather than prehistoric. Unfortunately the one I didn't photo (cattle in field) was the real one!
