Notes

To the east of the giants basin are two stones which stand parallel to each other, and resemble the two longer sides of a cist. Probably a duplicate of SHE 33a or SHE 33d.

UPDATE 31/12/2022. The HER gives an NGR of SX 5913 6699. This is to the *west* of the Giants Basin and Worth very clearly states to the east. We will arbitrarily assign an NGR which is slightly to the east. SX 59225 66944 - it is a guess of the reported location.
