ladrin visited on 17th Mar 2024 - their rating: Cond: 5 Amb: 4 Access: 5 Pair of standing stones located by the green garden hedge of the small cottage. Both monoliths are quite impressive slabs up to 230cm respectively 260cm high. Western stone has distinctive vertical quartzite vein.
According existing sources the stones are not in its origin location. They were relocated and rearanged after one was hit by the bus and broken sometimes before 1975.
Owner of the house is accommodating and sympathizing with stone-enthusiast so the permission is no problem at all.
The current owner of the house is accommodating to stone-enthusiasts so the permission should not be an issue if asked for politely.
