(d) a pair of possible smaller pointed fallen stones near (e),
(e) a fallen standing stone slab 1.6m by 1.6m and 0.3m thick lying on its large packing stones on bare bedrock (and originally oriented at about 315 degrees with respect to true N, as judged by a large single undisturbed packing stone),
