Notes
The southern end of the Black Tor stone row is terminated by one large cairn (1) with two smaller and close by satellite cairns (2 & 3). The position of these cairns in the PDW listings has been set by eye using a combination of Google Earth, the diagram in Butler Vol 3 p.49 and the photograph of the cairns on the Stone Row Of Great Britain site.
