Yeah, I must say i've kind of noticed those stones before, but always written them off as being a modern intrusion. Perhaps there is something in it though - I've never seen them from the angle in your shots, and must say it does look suspect. I can't find a reference to them anywhere though... but that doesn't necessarily mean anything, does it!?! :)

I don't know much about Cumbria but it's interesting that until recently only one stone row was believed to exist in Cornwall (Nine Maidens) until 8 others were 'found' on Bodmin Moor. The Bodmin Moor ones are all of small and unimposing stones and range from 12 to 560 metres long, whereas the Nine Maidens is a short row of large stones, with a probable outlier (the Magi Stone - and known by many other names) 500 metres away. Lots of rows have also been 'found' on Dartmoor - about 70 or so.

What I'm trying to say it that new things are still being discovered in one part of the country, and there isn't as such a thing called 'the typical Cornish stone row' (although evidence so far suggests the Bodmin ones are probably typical of the Bodmin area) so who knows if other parts of the country share this.........

Well it looks pretty convincing to me. It's not as if there are just a couple of them, either. It's half a dozen or more.
But I want to know more, like:
-were they aligning to anything obvious/not-so-obvious (compass points, stars, significant landscape features, etc, etc, etc)
-how deep are they buried? (and is this manner consistent with other local stones)

What's your feeling baza? you saw it after all....

Note Morfe House at the bottom of the map!

Anyway .... Green Lane, Water Lane and Forest Lane running leftish to right across new runway are part of an ancient trackway (I believe) that lead to the Roman Road beyond highgate common. This probably was no more than a drove to the fort though, but habitation could have sprouted along it. Long shot or what!

What you really need is a very dry spell and a flyover to do some crop mark spotting. I wonder if one of the nice people at Halfpenny Green (International Elect) Airport would take you up :-)
