These standing stones, accessible
by a path from the road, were erected about 2000 years BC. They are of local
schist and are each 3m high. They are set about 3.5m apart. Another account puts
them a little later as bronze age.
There is a local story that they
were the centre two stones of a stone circle and formed a stone cist containing
bones, arrowheads, and spearheads.
