Log Text: Very hard to find. No formal access. Published maps are not sufficiently detailed for this part of the world. The stones are located in a field on a north-facing slope near the top of the ridge. We had to get over a few walls, through considerable scrub and boggy ground to reach them. There are just 3 stones spaced about 20m apart (at a guess) making a roughly equilateral triangle. Each about 1m tall and rounded shapes.

Log Text: The site is in amongst a dense conifer plantation. It was easily accessible by following a rough foresters track through the trees. The rock art was stunning! Half exposed from a boggy puddle. The fact that it lay so neglected and hidden away in the woods made it feel really special.
