Notes
Damaged cairn at the north-western end of a probable stone alignment (MDV50223) on Walkhampton Common. On the line of an (apparently later) reave. The plan in Butler is helpful to finding and understanding this site. The author visited this feature on 15/08/2025 with Steve Szypko. The stone row cairn and the nearby gun emplacement are difficult to find. Following the stone row up and then heading a little west the circular depression for the nearby gun emplacement can be found. This in turn helps to locate the nearby stone row cairn.References
