There's a bunch of fallen stone rows and stuff in a field belonging to a farm called 'Thornhope' and I've made a site for them called 'Thornhope Stone Rows'. I've given the map reference for the middle point of what I call Row I.

You've added a new site with the name 'Low Thornhope Rock Art' and it is one of the stones of this Row I. It's near the middle of the row too, so they have the same map reference. If you look at the University picture you'll see the half buried stones of this row stretching toward the horizon.

The portable carved stone is part of this row rather than the stone row being part of the Rock Art. There are other carved stones nearby as well. Just one of these is recorded.

Hiya Stonelifter,

>The portable carved stone is part of this row rather than the stone row being part of the Rock Art.
Aye, that's how it seems, though the age of the row seems to be open to interpretation.

>There are other carved stones nearby as well. Just one of these is recorded
If you're meaning the Blackstone, and the teardrop shaped dints, I reckon they're sub-threshold. But the indisputable presence of an acknowledged portable CnR would make me think that there must have been cairns in the area, back in The Prehistoric. Either that or some ancient wanderer got sick of lugging his/her portable all the way from Sewingshields to Cross Fell, and dumped it on his/her way to the gold ear-ring shop at Kirkhaugh.
