Notes
The author visited this site on 21/06/24 and concluded there was no stone row but took a photo of some stones near the cairn and cist that are roughly linear but not convincing for a stone row. The Stone Rows of Great Britain website reached the same conclusion but with far more detail. This is not in my view a stone row.This site is now listed as "reported stone row" instead of a "stone row".
