Sounds promising StoneLifter. I reckon Slaggyford III should go on TMA with the appropriate notes explaining its background (in the past some people have added this sort of site without qualifying it in any way - not very handy).

I just got back from a whistle-stop tour of the south west. All over Cornwall in particular I saw field boundaries constructed with huge flattish stones standing upright. For example at the Merry Maidens circle the field boundary is just such a wall and at one point there are some horizontal slabs on top of the verticals rather reminiscent of a quoit. It made me wonder how many prehistoric structures were either incorporated into or raided for field boundary material. Some of the stones were so big that I wondered whether any post-megalithic culture would have bothered to move them.
