What is recorded here

Six stones descend like a staircase into the western hill, the largest standing tall at the south-western base and the smallest barely clearing the grass at the north-eastern top. A field fence cuts across the row, marking the boundary between human ownership and the older geometry of the land. The stones do not cluster or form a circle; they stretch in a deliberate line, suggesting measurement, alignment, or a path marked for someone who no longer walks it.

In pasture, on W side of low hill. Row of six stones, crossed by field fence, aligned NE-SW, 7.2m in overall length. Stones decrease in height from SW to NE. NE stone is 0.3m L, 0.3m T and 0.2m H. Next stone, 0.25m to SW, is 0.7m L, 0.6m T and 0.9m H. Third stone, 0.5m from last, is 0.7m L, 0.25m T and 0.12m H. Fourth stone, 0.8m further to SW, is 0.6m L, 0.4m T and 1.2m H. Fifth stone, 0.9m from fourth, is 0.9m L, 0.3m T and 1.1m H. SW stone, 1.2m from last, is 0.65m L, 0.50m T and 1.5m H. Five-stone circle (CO069-026----) 120m to NNW.
