SandyG visited on 4th Sep 2016 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 4 Access: 3 Car parking is available at ND 16869 50479. From here follow the wind farm road to ND 15079 49832 then head west towards the row. In 2016 a twin wire electric fence was encountered but was high enough to pass under. Obviously care should be taken and it also best to assume that it is live.
The nearby River Thurso may have been visually incorporated into the design of the rows.
"On a gentle, W-facing slope in degraded pasture, is a group of approximately ten surviving stone rows aligned from N-S around the WNW-ESE, and comprising at least 111 stones, of which the large majority just protrude or are buried closed to the surface." - Canmore site no. 8242.
For more information see the entry for Tormsdale on the Stone Rows of Great Britain website, which includes SandyG's photographs, a description, a simplified plan of this fan-shaped row from his survey in September 2016, and access information.
