Notes
Terminal for Drizzlecombe NW stone row. Re-erected in 1893. Lethbridge Row C. pp.38-42. Diagram p.38. NB. This website had previously matched this site with the HER record 3377. That record now clearly refers to the NE stone - although that may not have previously been the case. There is no HER record for this site now. Worth's Row 18/Row B. Previously listed here with a grid referecne of SX 59200 67020 which is quite a bit out.References
