Comments 
SMR have also SX 66 NW/19, at 6193 6988, with a similar description, probably a mistaken grid reference from Breton's directions.
NE side in two parts, with both endstones, is all that is left.
​Worth, in Barrow Report 46, does not mention the 'white spar' that Breton identifies the site by, and this stone was not evident in 2022.
