I came across this which is similar to many others I have seen but it not recorded on the OS map. I have given it the name of the ridge Gurnos, the closest landmark named on the OS. It may have been recorded elsewhere with another name.
It is a considerable pile of large stones about 5 meters at its greatest length and about 3 meters at its middle. It is about 1 meter at its greatest height.
