Notes
HER: A series of large stones set into a prominent field bank of a field system. It was alleged to be a stone row but this is thought unlikely.OS(1978): (SX 664850 to SX 663849) 'Stone Row' (NR) (1971 OS map).(10/02/1978) This recent publication entry (not on OS 25" 1904 or OS 6" 1961) is not a stone row but refers to some large stones set at irregular intervals along the course of a prominent field bank of a field system oriented on Thornworthy Tor (SX 68 NE146).
The author located this feature on 03/03/2025 with Steve Szypko and we concluded this is regular stones in a reave, most probably prehistoric, but not a stone row.
