The vague possibility of a SW continuation to the alignment/row/avenue. The stones of Lacra D circle can be seen up the slope on the left.

Elevated view of the possible NE alignment/row/avenue. The stones run from the bottom left of the picture towards the right centre. The sheep are clustered around Lacra D (one of them is actually standing on top of the NW stone of the circle).

Lacra Stone Avenue

From Lacra C the terrier and I headed across the fields in search of the elusive avenues. After crossing some boggy low ground we came across a group of stones that more or less fitted Burls description of ‘a few footballish boulders’. The eye of faith is definitely required here but given enough to-ing and fro-ing it is possible to make out an avenue. Saying that, if Mr Burl had said that they were just a fortuitous arrangement of boulders I would also agree with him.
I’m not too sure what to say about this site other than have a look for yourself and see what you think.
