Full description

Quinnell, N. V., 10/10/1995, Pebble Patch (Worksheet). SDV105299.

Patch of pebbles recorded during summer 1995. Measures 1.7 metres by 1.1 metres and consists of closely packed stones. North-northwest and west-southwest sides of patch are virtually straight; the rest of the circumference is curvilinear. Not a cairn and does not conform to the mounds recorded by Carter (1936) or suggest a prehistoric context. There are infilled World War Two slit trenches in the vicinity so could be related though appears older.
