Notes

HER: Hemery (1983) records a stone row here, estimated at SX 735 808. Stone row, Cripdon Down. North-west of the hut circles depicted on the Ordnance Survey map (SX 78 SW 17) and west of the Cripdon Down summit pile is a single stone row, 120 yards long passing over the crest of the Down. At the northern end is a very large fallen slab (destroyed cist?). The lower, southern end has stones of a greater size than the majority, one 7 feet long could have former a blocking stone. The stones are evenly spaced and not generally large.
