This is an easy access site with a very short walk from the parking spot to the stones. Only two stones remain, both fallen, one massive stone, the recumbent and one large stone which may be a flanker. These are unique, stunning and special stones as they are entirely white quartz and are known as the "Rocking Stones". I look specifically for the quartz seams in the stones at recumbent sites as there is often one or two stones with a wee bit of quartz in them, but I haven't seen anything like these stones before and this is the 65th recumbent stone circle site I have visited to date, they are beautiful, I just want to return with a bucket of water and a scrubbing brush to clean them up as I imagine they would look amazing clean and blinding in the sun light.
