Notes
The following are thought to be the same: Grinsell DEA 5a SX69996530 (6 x 0.15) and Turner A29 70066529. It would seem both the the NMR and HER have treated these as two separate cairns - this can be seen from the grid referencs in the two NMR records and both HER records refer to Turner A29. NMR 444856 is thus a duplicate of 441549. HER 48850 is thus a duplicate of of HER 7833.References
