The monument comprises the remains of two standing stones, which probably dates to the Bronze Age (c. 2300 - 800 BC) and are located 40yds apart. The south-western stone is a boulder measuring 6ft high by 4 1/2 ft. The north-east stone is located within the field boundary and measures 6ft high by 3ft by 2ft.
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. Standing stones 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.
