Notes
Cairn with hollow at centre found on sparkwell boundary. This record originates with Grinsell. It seems very likely this is Butler 52.16.6. The grid references are a little different but the size and description of being on the Sparkwell boundary are the same. Butler does not link his record to SHAUGH PRIOR 47 but he doesn't link any record to that Grinsell record. Both locations are now underneath workings. There are separate HER entries for the Butler (MDV12654) and Grinsell (MDV20151). We will treat this one as a duplicate.References
