In pasture, on gentle NE-facing slope. Two stones standing 1.83m apart. Taller stone to W (H 1.63m; 1.07m x 0.65m); long axis NE-SW. Second stone (H 1.6m; 0.8m x 0.3m) leans heavily to SW. Stone pair (CO136-017001-) lies 44m to SW. According to local information, the group was accidentally knocked by machinery in 2017. The taller stone has fallen to the east and is practically recumbent resting slightly on the smaller stone.
