Notes
Breton p.53 To the N. of it [Breton is referring to the Cosdon Triple row] are clitters of rocks, a short distance to the S, a swamp in which a feeder of the Blackaton Brook rises. On its E. slopes are the remains of a stone row.The feeder referred to is the Cheriton Comb which passes a boggy area. This would place the row at approximately SX 648 908. There is no known stone row at this point and this author is unaware of other accounts. This section of the Blackaton Brook has been greatly disturbed by stream workings.
