Glacial Erratics presumably. They wouldn't warrant a listing on the Portal unless there's some rock art, or evidence / folklore connecting them to prehistoric people in some way.
Cheers

From one of the pictures
"the Great Stone of Fourstones. 4m high and 27m circumference. The other three smaller erratics were allegedly broken up centuries ago for scythe sharpening stones."
Said to have been thrown at England in anger by the Irish giant Finn McCool.
