Details Two standing stones of grey granite. They are 13m apart and about 220m east of the recumbent stone circle (NJ71SW0003). The northeast stone is a grey granite pillar speckled with quartz and measures 1.73m in breadth from east-northeast to west-southwest by 0.48m in thickness and 2.05m in height. The southwest stone measures 0.88m in breadth from northwest to southeast by 0.55m in thickness and 1.8m in height. The respective alignments of the stones indicate the pair are unlikely to be the remains of a stone circle. In November 2005, a scatter of broken white quartzite pebbles was noted in ploughsoil in the area immediately to the northwest of the pair of standing stones.
