Gallowhill Wood
Gallowhill Wood submitted by SandyG : Stone 3 is recumbent and has been incorporated into a later field boundary bank. The stone measures 2.07m long by 1.53m wide and 0.28m high on the northern side. View from west (Scale 1m). (Vote or comment on this photo)

Gallowhill Wood submitted by SandyG : Stone 2 is recumbent and measures 1.62 long by 1.05m wide and stands up to 0.34m high above the ground surface. View from west (Scale 1m). (Vote or comment on this photo)

Gallowhill Wood
Gallowhill Wood submitted by SandyG : Stone 1 is recumbent and has been split into two parts. The stone as a whole measures 1.61m long, 1.62m wide and stands up 0.6m high above the ground surface. View from south-east (Scale 1m). (Vote or comment on this photo)

Gallowhill Wood
Gallowhill Wood submitted by SandyG : The row includes three large recumbent slabs. View from north (Scale 1m). (Vote or comment on this photo)

Gallowhill Wood
Gallowhill Wood submitted by SandyG : Stone 1 in the foreground has been split. Stone 3 in the background has been incorporated into a later field boundary.  The absence of any other large stones in the vicinity combined with the fact that the stones can be resolved into a line means that this is probably a stone row. View from above and north (Scale 1m).

The 4-digit grid reference for this site, NO 16 35, does not specify a single point but rather a kilometre square extending east and north from NO 16000 35000. The OS maps on RCAHMS website show no stones in this square though there are 3 stone sites just outside: a former circle (East Whitefield), a former standing stone (Hangies Stone) and a former stone row (Gallowhill Wood (East Gallowhill)) just outside this square. I suspect this entry is a duplicate of the last.

It would be very helpful if the Portal maps could show such vague grid references as shaded areas on the map, not as defined points. A 4 digit reference covers a kilometre square, a 6 digit reference covers a 100m square, and so on. This would help to eliminate duplicate site listings and avoid pointless searching around a single point.
