NC82SE 6 892 235.
(NC 8924 2355 & NC 8932 2349) Stone Rows (NR)
OS 6"map, (1962)
Two sets of stone rows, one running E-W and the other NW-SE. The stones are set in parallel rows, mostly facing along the line of row, and are 1 ft to 2 ft in height. They are generally angular slabs of schistose rock. The rows are 4 ft to 5 ft apart and the stones 6 ft to 7 ft apart. Many small mounds occur, sometimes laid across the line of the stone, breaking the continuity of the rows but not apparently forming bases from which they radiate.
RCAHMS 1911, visited 1909; J Anderson 1886
The stone rows, as described by the RCAHMS, are both incomplete, the more westerly being the better preserved. The rows of the latter are interrupted by later stone clearance heaps (See NC82SE 16). The situation is on a prominent spur of Learable Hill.
Visited by OS (J B) 20 January 1977 and (W D J) 29 May 1961
