Two standing stones in a field behind the main village street. The one in the foreground here stands close to the hedge with the further stone positioned to the northeast of it. It has been suggested that these stones once formed the 'cromlech' (or burial chamber) which local people blew up with gunpowder in the C18, and which also gave the village its name: ringing stone. Cornel Bach means little corner.
