Get over this field boundary stuff. The site you link to was surveyed by Thom. It is on page 149 of his 'Megalithic Sites In Britain'. He extrapolates two declinations from this stone row, both solar alignments to the east. One of the alignments is marked by a cairn of stones on an intervening hill. The test of whether a line containing stones is prehistoric, in the sense we would use it, is whether it contains a 'significant stellar alignment'. The absolute proof would be a photograph of that alignment happening.
