More information : SX 12827186 to SX 12987154. A stone row comprising four upright or leaning stones and five recumbent stones lies on high level moorland. It is on a northwest - southeast axis and is 355.5m long. There are no obvious associated features and it is probable that gaps are the result of stone robbing.
Of uncertain date but possibly Bronze Age. Located during field investigation.
Surveyed at 1:2500. (1)
SX 12817189 to SX 12997155. The remains of what must have been an impressive stone row extend for approximately 378m in length and lie on a NW/SE oriemtation. It consists of two upright, two leaning and eight recumbent stones which coupled with three shallow depressions (which may indicate socket holes) lie on the same general alignment from 7.0m to 14.0m apart. Other stones have almost certainly been removed or broken up and a number may have been placed on or incorporated into a low stone bank which at one point crosses the line of the row. (See SX 17 SW 65)
The northern-most stone is a recumbent slab 1.2m long and 0.6m wide at the base and the leaning slab at the southern terminal of the row is a substantial 2.4m long tapering granite orthostat; these two stones do not appear to be intervisible because of rising ground. An intermediate 1.8m high stone at SX 12827186 stands at the highest point on the row and is visible for quite a distance. Two recumbent slabs have been moved off the general line and the stone at SX 12907174, which has been split into four pieces, stands at the end of a second stone bank (SX 17 SW 65) which runs parallel to the first.
In good condition.
