Identification

Category: Uncertain. Saltergate Moor has large numbers of upright stones, many of which can be resolved into straight lines. During the field visit four separate alignments of three stones were identified in the vicinity of the grid reference recorded by PastScape. It is probably safest to record this as an uncertain row.
