DescriptionA row of large orthostatic boulders leads northwards from the south-western tip of Skomer to a rock outcrop, from where it kinks to the east and terminates in a small burial cairn. It may just be a robbed out field boundary - the smaller stones taken, but large orthostats left. However, its character is different to any other boundary on Skomer, and the row terminates at its northern end in a cairn. This feature is similar to stone rows with terminal cairns found on Dartmoor.
