You absolute star. 'Grey Mares'. I think I know them. There are two, one at either side of the moor. I took a shot of one yonks ago. It's here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/hobsonish/5483306741 On the south side of the moor. There's another, also with boulders around it, just north-west of the Ringses camp. Considering the 2 BA cairns on the knoll above the camp are connected by a curved line of stones, it adds texture to this place. The fact that I now have pals who live nearby makes it likely I will go back and photograph these two stones, especially as I can now give them a name.	Posted by Hob 19th June 2017ce
Well look at that, you already have a photo. That's quite a chunk of rock if it's 7ft tall. I'm glad to have contributed some new information to you. They're not obviously mare-like to me, I wonder why the name. They must definitely be Noticeable though. You should definitely add some photos to TMA if you go back though. hoping you are well, Rh	Posted by Rhiannon 19th June 2017ce
