Wilmersham Common South
Wilmersham Common South submitted by SandyG : The row is composed mainly of tiny stones which barely protrudge through the surface. View from north east (Scale 1m). (Vote or comment on this photo)
Stone row composed mainly of tiny stones which barely protrude through the surface.

The row measures 68m long, including 50 small and medium-sized stones situated on a gentle west facing slope. The row is orientated north east to south west.

Update August 2019: This row is recorded as Pastscape Monument No. 36008, which tells us this is: "A stone row of 50 standing stones, located on the west-facing slopes of Honeycombe Hill. There is no evidence for a barrow or cairn at either end. It was previously alleged to represent the remains of a dilapidated field wall. Scheduled".

The row is scheduled as Historic England List ID 1014257(Wilmersham Common stone row 320m south east of the confluence of Embercombe and Chetsford waters).

The Stone Rows of Great Britain also features an entry for this row - see their page for the Wilmersham Common, South, which includes photographs, a plan of the row and a description. The SRoGB also includes a section for 'Landscape Comments", which illustrates the different landscape features which appear/disappear as you walk along the row.
