Full Description
VS51 (NL646946) Boat-shaped stone setting, 6.7 x 3.2 m, oriented north-east-south-west, with only four perimeter stones visible but its outline marked at the prow, stern, and one long side by slight mounding and vegetation change. The east side appears to have been completely robbed out, almost certianly to build a now relict earth and stone boundary bank which runs past a few metres to the east. Date and purpose uncertain.
