Notes

"Site of a possible stone circle (or cairn circle) destroyed sometime around 1874. Site said to exist above Sticklepath, below Cawsand (Cosdon)." Could this be a duplicate of Eight Rocks (SiteID=500). Butler (p.207 of Vol 2) suggests that Cosdon Hill N.3 (HER MDV6918) is the most likely candidate for the remains of Eight Rocks (as a former cairn circle).

13/12/24: This entry was formerly listed here as Skaigh Warren Cairn Circle, now changed to Cosdon Hill N.3 (duplicate) - now marked as a duplicate. It is either a duplicate of the entry for N3 or for Eight Stones.
