Notes
HER: A stone row is alleged at this location by Worth (1932-33) but has not been located since, either by Worth, or during field investigation.Masson Phillips: In August 1932 author was present at a field meeting led by R.H. Worth who pointed out a single stone row, more or less east to west with a low barrow at each end, he had discovered near the summit of Black Tor in the Avon Valley. Worth later contacted Quinnell to say he had been unable to locate it on a second visit. Quinnell also failed to locate it again, despite searching on at least six occasions 'had it not been that I and some 20 persons saw it in 1932 I would doubt its existence'.
