Eds. (Site designation)

I think designating this site as "cairns-destroyed" is treading on very dodgy ground. Could you take a look at my two posts there and maybe change the designation to "unknown" or similar ?

Thanks for the post Harestonedown,
Looking at the South Yorks SMR, there's a mention of "several cairns in the vicinity, now destroyed" in the record for the Cicely Low site. But if there's nothing on the ground, nothing on the OS map and nothing to see, I think we should be deleting the site from TMA.
Is that your conclusion too, from your visit?

I'd be inclined to leave it up as a site tbh, despite trawling that area several times particularly looking for this "feature"and finding nothing bar the stone in the pic i posted. It could be wonderfully decorated on the other side ! ;)
There's very little on the net in regards to it, but maybe it's a starting point/record of a former site for future reference ? I'd definitely change the designation though. Or maybe leave it a while and see what other members think ?

Forgot to add. The old descriptive text also mentions - "The circle is, as usual, incomplete, the opening pointing towards Fingerem Stone."

Maybe it was an outlier ?

Just curious, looking at the map that's been added to the site (I do like a nice old map): Is "Harry's Stone" still there up the road a bit? And is it a particularly big or interestingly shaped stone?

You're a man of too few words. :)
