The Low Bridestones are natural formations, curious weathered blocks of sandstone, in contrast to the High Bridestones which are human handwork.

Two groups of standing stones. The most southerly group comprises 26 stones, many upright, others fallen and all weatherworn. The two tallest are 4 and 5ft high. Their arrangement suggests an alignment or wall straggling in a general N-S direction for 70 yards.

One hundred yards N is a group of 60 stones, the majority upright, the tallest 5ft. The arrangement is complex but they do not form a circle. They undoubtedly represent the remains of stone walled enclosures, possibly fields.
