EDITORIAL NOTES

Arrangement
The county has been treated as a single unit and not subdivided into
parishes. The monuments are classified in groups, on a chronological basis,
those in each group being arranged in a topographical order, usually
clockwise from the north-east. A list of monuments under parish headings
will be found on pp. xxvii-xxxiv.

Maps, Grid References and Dates of Visit
At the end of each article will be found the National Grid reference of
the monument in question, the number of the 6-inch O.S. sheet on which
it occurs, and the date (or dates) when it was examined.
As the majority of the monuments are in 100-kilometre grid square NS,
these letters have been omitted throughout and a six-figure reference only
has been given. Thus a reference given as 123456 is to be understood as
meaning NS 123456. In the case of the few monuments which are in the
100-kilometre square NN, these letters are given in addition to the six figures
of the reference number.
The 6-inch O.S. sheet numbers refer either to the edition based on the
National Grid, where this is available, or to the edition of 1922-24. The
sheets of the National Grid edition are distinguished by the prefix NN or NS,
representing the respective 100-kilometre grid squares, while those of the
1922-24 edition have the prefix N and are numbered in Roman figures.

Air-photograph References
In the case of National Survey photographs, the reference consists of
the sortie number followed by the numbers of the two consecutive prints that
allow the monument to be viewed stereoscopically (e.g 106G/SCOT/UK18,
5366-7); while in the case of photographs belonging to the Cambridge
University Committee for Aerial Photography, the print-number is given
first and is followed by the abbreviation C.U.C.A.P.

Inscriptions
Square brackets occurring in the text of an inscription indicate that the
words or letters within them are illegible but have been restored, a note of
question being added when restoration is uncertain. Words or letters in
round brackets have never existed on the stone but have been inserted for the
sake of clarity. All ligatures have been expanded.
