Brendon Two Gates

Brendon Two gates - 0nce there were five stones here, a quidnunx, - four in a square with one in the middle. Now only three remain looking like a row, so the setting has lost its pattern, and thereby its original meaning. In November 2001 local archaeologists re-erected the middle stone and put down organic matting round it. They covered it and the others with thorn bushes, in the hope of preventing damage from off track vehicles and rubbing sheep. Details can be found in A Condition Survey of Standing Stones in Exmoor National Park Authority Owned Land, by Oliver Blackmore, a report by Exmoor National Park.
