Holne Moor treble stone row, SX 6743 7105 to SX 6757 7099

This is a triple stone row which runs approximately northwest to southeast roughly parallel to an old reave or boundary wall, and is about 150 metres in length. The western, uphill end has two fallen longstones which would have been positions across the ends of each of the southern and central rows, a socket hole being present at the northern row. The central stone is more than three metres in length. There is no apparent obvious cairn here.
About a metre downrow from these, the rows proper start, with a cross set blocking stone at the head of all three rows, with the central stone again being much the largest. The three rows then run away to the southeast, but all the stones are very small, mostly with only the tops poking out above the turf. In places, particularly near the top, the rows are all very clear, but in other places, most of the stones are either missing or completely buried. Far more stones are missing than can be found.
At the southeastern end, in a lowpoint before the ground rises again, there seems to be a single, fairly large triangular shaped stone placed across the central or northern row, which may once have been a blocking stone marking the proper end of the monument.
Something is not right. This message is just to keep things from messing up down the road
