The site 706 is pretty close to the form I was talking about, but I was mainly after the 'closely set - one short, one tall' variety. Like this:

And hope that it works correctly

but it does give Aubrey Burl's view on the pairs of standing stones. These are not known in the south of Northumberland (much) although occasionally there are pairs of curricks and also associations of a tumulus and a menhir.

There appears to be a pair of standing stones in Tunstall Golf Course, Oldham, and one of the stones has a keyhole perforation, but it's never easy to know what was there originally and whether the remaining stones were just simply too large, or too firmly embedded, to remove !

There are presently no pictures of these Oldham stones known.
