Foggy and Compo are in an axe-shaped (!) field .87 kilometres from the Quoit on a bearing of 295 degrees. Their position is 50.27.47N 4.27.59W.
I proceed on the understanding that they are modern rubbing posts due to the drill marks on Foggy, but their shape and relation to the quoit continue to fascinate. They do not form part of the present astronomical survey.
However I do not dismiss them entirely; they took me long enough to find!
Apologies for any confusion. I will endeavour to be more clear in future.
David Kane.
