Ermm, they didn't use iron in the Bronze Age. But as the three stones are boundary markers, they're not too difficult to find, even though the boundary was rationalised during Enclosure. I have loads of pictures but they're all slightly out of focus, which is the consequence of needing reading glasses and no diopter or macro lens.
One stone's very easy to find, on the flank of Grey Nag. Quite a walk to get to it from the road. I still have some tools out there to collect. Not ready yet. I've worked in the casting bay of an iron foundry - long time ago - and all those sparks fall as slag and have to be cleared away with a shovel. Some fall inside your glove and have to be vigorously shaken out!
