Notes
Could these be Ringmoor Down (N. of row) 1-3 (HER 22767). Butler clearly has these near Ringmoor cairn 8 - which suggests it is a different group of 3 cairns of similiar size.The author looked for these 3 cairns on 27/05/2023 but could only find one of them at SX 56589 66733. That grid reference is now used for this record.
