Notes
Butler, reffering to the claims of the Dartmoor Exploration Comittee of a second Langstone Moor stone row and associated cairn says "A line of slabs is indeed visible along oe side of it [a bank of stones] but the cairn appeards to be merely a pile of stones from the bank to allow the passage of the Peter Tavy branch of the Lich Way". NB. The HER has no entry but the entry for the pool (127215) implies it could be the same as the Butler reported carn at the end of the stone row. On this website the pool is currently listed as a separate entry SiteID=4428. The Butler diagram page 77 (fig 30.8) shows both a mound and a pit. Could these represent these as two distinct features?References
