Summary description and reason for designation
The following provides a general description of the Scheduled Ancient Monument.
The monument comprises the remains of two standing stones, which probably date to the Bronze Age (c. 2300 - 800 BC) and which are situated in a hedge bank. The northern stone measures 1.3 high above the bank and is c 1m square at this point. The southern stone measures 1.3m high above the bank and is, 1m wide and is 0.6m at this point.
The monument is of national importance for its potential to enhance our knowledge of prehistoric burial and ritual practices. It is an important relic of a prehistoric funerary and ritual landscape and retains significant archaeological potential. There is a strong probability of the presence of intact burial or ritual deposits, together with environmental and structural evidence. The stones are on record as being the remains of a former stone circle. Standing stones and stone circles are often part of a larger cluster of monuments and their importance can further enhanced by their group value.
The scheduled area comprises the remains described and areas around them within which related evidence may be expected to survive.
