I headed up to the farm house and out of courtesy I asked permission at the farm house that looks on to the stones and they were more than happy and pointed me in the right direction.

One very large recumbent stone standing and one very large stone fallen which could be a flanker or a circle stone, a fallen medium stone at the corner of the pile and 30 odd smaller stones are piled in the middle.
