The Longstone (Piles Hill) submitted by SandyG on 27th Sep 2014. The Longstone and friend. The stone on the right is a later boundary marker. There is a history of legal disputes concerning this boundary and the new stone will have been erected to resolve one of these. A remarkable juxtaposition of stones with many stories to tell.

Log Text: Car parking is available at SX 52178 77879. From the car park follow the track leading eastward. This one is a bit of slog, pretty much all uphill for over 3kms. The row is situated just inside the Merrivale military live firing range and it is important that you check that there is no firing and that the range is open for visitors. It’s a long way to go to find you can’t visit.

The Hurlers Avenue submitted by theCaptain on 25th Jan 2014. Possible remains of a newly discovered stone avenue, running in an approximately north to south direction, on the moor to the north of the Hurlers stone circles.
From what I saw the two approx parallel lines of stones are about 15 metres from each other, and stones can be found at about 10 metre spacings.

Log Text: Car parking is available at NZ 84319 08785. Take care crossing the busy road.
There has been considerable confusion regarding this site over the years. Robert Knox describing the site in 1855 saw the two large stones as forming part of a double alignment than ran north to south with a further pair of stones (now destroyed) 110 yards further to north. A few years earlier in 1852 Samuel Anderson who excavated Swarth Howe claimed that the stones formed remains of a single row that extended between Swarth Howe and the cairn at NZ 84173 08932. The two additional stones found during fieldwork may lend some support to Anderson's interpretation, although both are of uncertain authenticity. On balance Anderson's interpretation is probably the more valid, but given the degree of uncertainty this row should be best considered as possible at best.
