What is recorded here

Five stones stand in rough pasture beside the Inchinagat river, their heights ranging from forty centimetres to one metre forty. One stone hides partially beneath a neighbouring row, while another leans against a fence as if waiting for someone to notice it. The arrangement defies easy explanation, suggesting either a forgotten ritual or a moment when human hands played with gravity itself.

In rough pasture 100m E of Inchinagat river, and immediately W of stone row (CO114-04002-). Four small erect stones; E stone (H 0.4m; 0.65m x 0.1m) partly underlies SW slab of stone row (CO114-04002-); next stone (H 0.6m;0.5m x 0.3m) 1m to SW; third stone (H 1.1m; 0.9m x 0.25m) 0.7m NW of last; fourth stone (H 1.1m; 0.4m x 0.4m) 0.9m to SW. Fifth stone (H 1.4m; 0.8m x 0.4m) standing in fence 0.8m further to SW; not clear if forms part of complex. Boulder-burial (CO114-04001-) to NE.
