Yar Tor OSGR SX 6818 7385

Comments
The description given in 1895, of a triple row that was destroyed by 1897, is approximately in line with, and with the same orientation, as the surviving row, which was discovered by RHW in 1936. Butler (1991) suggests the desicription fits part of the row north of the cairn, rather than a continuation south.
