 Re: stone rows 16 messages | Select a forum: |
| Your rows - even with tumbled- down stones do not seem to confirm to the traditional definition of a stone row, they appear either 'far too busy' or far too small. But fear not there are other megalithic linear monuments that you could consider if you're convinced that your rows are not field boundaries or the remains of tumbled down orthostatic walling. We have a number of Cross ridge dykes on the NYM, don't let the cross ridge bit put you off as they don't all cross ridges - although some do, plus they're not all dykes - although some are - some are pit alignments Here's some examples http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/site/5506 http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/site/2728 http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/site/2061 Regarding your holes - not being drilled. Powder holes were sometimes made using a iron pole, the rock was repeatedly bashed rather than drilled, to create the hole. This could be one explanation for you non-uniform hole especially bearing in mind the long tradition of mining in the North Pennines.
