BY38: Boat-shaped stone setting. Natural prominence on slope to south cliff. Oval, 10 x 5m, single cell of stones spaced in outline, well-embedded into a slight mound. A field wall down to the cliff edge uses one site of the boat setting in its alignment. Stone for the wall has most likely been robbed from the monument.
