Signed bottom left "SC 1876"

The legend behind the stones says that two young lads were crossing the moor when they encountered a sudden snow storm and sheltered behind two rocks. Their frozen bodies were found later and ever since stones have been piled on top of the two rocks to commemorate their death.
