Edge set slabs forming part of the alignment in the area where an historic holloway cuts through the rows. View from the east (Scale 1m).
Two slabs and the associated skyline cairn. Dense heather made it difficult to locate the stones during the field visit. Only eight stones were found (Scale 1m).

After visiting this row it makes sense to have a look at Watenan, West also. Watenan, West is only about 400m away to the north west but the ground is uneven and care should be taken to avoid the frequent boggy areas.
