Don't worry about it. I take it you didn't look at the two pairs of almost buried stones I described? The quarries you describe are actually shallow coal adits and resulting spoil heaps. I'm glad you didn't visit any of the other stuff in the vicinity.


We did spot two erect stones near the boundary wall, these were quite close together and were also perfectly aligned on third stone about 30m up the bank. All of these stones were well weathered and looked "convincing", indeed, a second pair in the correct position would have made a very plausible 4P.

The landowner told us that the pits were old stone quarries, hence our origin theory, but as they are in fact coal adits, it rules that one out.

As we said, we're no experts and could easily be wrong.
