The arrangement with the farmer and landowner for the field that contains most of the stone circle at Kirkhaugh, and for the carved stones of Slaggyford, is to leave fifty pence per person per visit, on or beside the gatepost. Those Slaggyford stones are not far from the road, but take some finding. The first one is easy - the farmer knows it, but the others are less easy. There's an alignment that is the secret and walking back along it is how they're found. There's another, but putative, long barrow on the roadside at Coanwood. It's on the roadside. Not listed yet. A stone circle was nearby - in living memory and on the Victorian 6" maps - but that has been pulled out, leaving the stones in a pile. There's a three-sided four poster also listed, better provenanced than Whitehouse, but a long walk - gravel track - from the road end. I could post an aerial image of that one, somewhere, possibly.
