Sherberton Common double stone row was destroyed between 1895 and 1897 during the building of the road. Not to be confused with the recently discovered Sherberton stone row.


According to Worth, R. H., 1946, The Stone Rows of Dartmoor. Part 1, 307 (Article in Serial). SDV251172.

A double stone row (length 68.6 meters), found in 1894 "beside a road" on Sherril Down, Sherberton Common, was destroyed between 1895 and 1897. Orientated north 4 degrees west, 342.5 meters above sea level. At its northern end were traces of a barrow. The road contractor who deliberately destroyed the alignment also partially demolished a hut circle.
