Full Description

There are four stones in the first phase of the wall that lies just within the cottage garden. Three seem to be bedded. They all lie on the S side of an old wall that has largely collapsed. The garden then truncates the wall line, but further to the W it continues in a different form of build but has at least 1 further large stone in it. If these stones should be linked to the others that project from the cairn then it is possible that they are not in original position and have indeed been moved, but proper survey would be needed to conform this. However it should also be noted that at least 2 large stones lie in the field wall/bank to the SW of the cairn as well - HAW 3/2004

Stone row projecting from the cairn - NH95SW0002 and previously recorded within that record (see file).

However, corres by Mr G Steele to AU in 1984 givers much more detailed description of the row based on info from the farmer, regarding further stones now buried and the moving of others, see file -. 2 stones are visible to the E of the access track, just inside the field line (photo). HAW 5/203
