To be honest I was looking for a stone row and stumbled upon a cairn instead! Posted by markj99

Ha, not a bad day if you just happen to come across stuff. Did you find the stone row?

You probably have seen this site but just in case you haven't. It's great for stone rows and who doesn't love stone rows, I know I do :-)

I didn't find the stone row but an unexpected cairn was ample compensation. Of course, I do like a stone row so tx for the link, Mark Posted by markj99
