Notes
Possibly destroyed. Butler: Holne Ridge N. '1' at SX67007175 was a fine cairn until 1878 when Crossing witnessed it 'gradually disappear under the hammer of the stone breaker'. Its remains are a disorganised rim of stone and earth which lie close to one of the parallel reaves about 25 metres from the road opposite the car parkSee also SiteID=4033 which also references the Butler entry but the NGR is around 300 metres away?
