They are classified as an anomalous stone group, a designation that places them outside the cleaner categories of standing stones, stone circles, or megalithic tombs, and signals that their original purpose or arrangement is genuinely uncertain. That ambiguity is part of what makes them worth pausing over.

Local memory recorded that one of the stones was still upright as recently as 1980, which means within living memory this was a different kind of place, one where at least something of the original character of the monument was legible. The second stone was already prostrate by that point. Both now rest against the northern field boundary, displaced from whatever positions they once held. Whether they formed part of a larger arrangement, marked a boundary, or served some other prehistoric function is not recorded. The word "anomalous" here is doing real archaeological work, acknowledging that the stones do not fit neatly into any known monument type, and that the evidence needed to classify them more precisely may simply be gone.
