ShortName: CN:Stannon N2
Notes: Four upright slabs form a crude semi-circle on a small shelf of an otherwise steep, e-facing and clitter strewn hillside, above stannon brook. The semi-circle described by the slabs is 3m in diam with a max height of 0.7m. It does not form a recognisable archaeological feature and seems more like random assemblage of natural slabs

Lade Hill Reported Cist

NMR: No record found
HER record: MDV-1
PMD: Lade Hill
ShortName: CT?Lade Hill1
Notes: Via Radcliffe: "A good candidate for a damaged cist. There is one long slab still in situ which is orientated 120/300 degrees. Other stones are rather jumbled and some look shattered, so I believe at some time it must have received a hit or near miss from an artillery piece - there are quite a few old shell holes on this hillside." (Information from TAP Greeves). No NMR or HER records.
