Notes
Breton p.34: Ringhill Stones stand in a field E. of the farm. The two large ones are 15ft. apart. The largest is nearly 5ft. high They were formerly part of stone rows which have been destroyed. 203 yds N.E. of the stones close to the Stannon Brook is the site of a blowing house; just beyond is a stone hedge, built into it is a mould stone.. HER: standing stones. Only two of the five standing stones could be found, it appears that the remainder were destroyed during the construction of an occupational road to Hartyland. These stones are of very weathered appearance, suggestive of great antiquity. See also entry on Megalithic Portal.References
