Type Of SiteSTONE ALIGNMENT
PeriodBronze Age
DescriptionA row comprising seven upright or leaning orthostats measuring up to 2.9m long and aligned NNE by SSW.
The surrounding land surface is eroding to reveal a silica-rich clay and gravel subsoil into which the stones are set. All the stones are of Carboniferous silicious grit except for one which is a rounded boulder of Old Red Sandstone.
About 20m to the south is a pile of gritstone standing to 0.25m above the eroded surface, possibly the site of a former orthostat.
The alignment lies within a karst landscape of limestone solution hollows; a large shake hole lies to the immediate north. Extensive industrial workings lie in the vicinity.
