White Oak

Curious rows of rocks on hill slope The groove in which the two rows of rocks are found is not the main line of drainage in the valley of Croasdale Beck but a lesser one on the north side. The rows have the appearance of small dams but that seems unlikely  as there are gaps among the rocks which would allow water through.
