Cox Tor OSGR SX 5306 7616

Comments
Rowe says this is to the NE of White Tor, so presumably means Cock's Hill, and not Cox Tor, and the reference to "traces of cairns and rows" is perhaps to Conies Down?
RN Worth may be referring to the same site when he writes "The late drought brought to view .. at least one row of low stones, the direction of which was practically the same as that on Langstone Moor.".
"A small cairn, with two circles round it .. has traces of a row.".
There was no mention of this in the DEC Report of 1898.
