You could well be right mate as it looks similar. Not so sure about them being staddle stones tho, i'd already thought of them, aren't the flat tops more for grain stores to keep the rats and mice out? You might just manage to get meadow grasses to make hay on this land as it looks sheep or possible cattle pasture land and not arable as such.

Next time I'm up there I'll go without the dog and jump the wall to get some better pics.

I found this pic of saddle stones and support lintels for a hayrick at nearby Chatsworth (near the kids play area and pet zoo) so say 3 miles away?

Bang goes the hayrick theory as the stone shapes are nothing alike and they aren't going to change in design over such a short distance from each other
