It isn't too clear either way and comparison with

might lead you to say the stones were the front stones.

The suggestion that they were probably the back stones picks up a Frances Lynch comment about a "rather poor sketch" by Stukeley which shows two triangular stones to the E of the present remains possibly marking the original entrance. (Megalithic Enquiries p129)

If they were to the east of these stones then they were probably the front. Most of 'em face east, so with these being at the west end they would most likely be the back. Thanks.
