Notes
"A Late Neolithic stone alignment on Higher White Tor, surviving as two parallel rows of stones aligned roughly north-south. The alignment is 95.4 metres long and contains twelve upright stones and 24 recumbent ones." Lethbridge diagram and photo p.110. Site visited 28/05/2025 by the author. The main photo above gives a more realistic picture than the more "artistic" second photo.References
