Update October 2019: This alignment is featured on the Stone Rows of Great Britain website - see their entry for East Cult, which includes a description, a plan of the row with its cup marked stone, drawings of the row and the cup marked stone from Romilly Allen (1881), photographs of the alignment and the individual stones, access information and links to other online resources for more information.
The SRoGB also includes a section for 'A Landscape Reveal' which discusses and illustrates the distant Grampian Mountains which come into view when approaching the row from the south when approaching the row.
