Description
A stone pile, approximately 9m north-south by 8m, in the middle of a pasture field. The field was not visited on the ground during field survey in 2008 but was seen from adjacent slopes and plotted from modern aerial photographs. A slightly older set of aerial photographs shows the fields as bracken covered and partially ploughed, presumably as part of the effort to clear the bracken. The pile of stones is not visible on these photos and it is probable that it was created as part of this process of bracken clearance. It is similar to NPRNs 246610 and 246162. J.J. Hall, Trysor, 12 December, 2008.
