Notes
N. Teign. Claimed by Butler.See also Butler Vol 5 p. 249 fig. 175. Possible stone row near long cairn south-east of the Scorhill stone circle recorded by Butler (1991), although Gerrard was not convinced during Monument Protection Programme visit in 1998 and was not included in scheduling. Site visit in 2021 recorded potential row.. Visited by author on 06/02/2025 and the feature can be seen but currently looks like stones that may have been disturbed, tumbled, from the cairn that happen to form a short linear features. Changed entry from stone row to reported stone row as I'm inclined to agree with Gerrard.References
