Notes from Pastscape Monument No. 442117: "Treeland Brake Stone Row. The only record of the row is a photograph taken by Mr HG Hurrell in the late 1950s. Mr Hurrell remembers about five erect stones and about five fallen, aligned north-east to south-west. The row has been destroyed by agricultural activity by 1977. (Photograph is in the possession of S & M Register)." Also: "A colour print taken by Mr Hurrell from approximately SX 67206130 shows the stones aligned to a field corner at SX 67296147. Approximate centre of row, SX 67276141; the area is now under pasture."
Update August 2019: This now destroyed row is also featured on Prehistoric Dartmoor Walks (PDW) - see their entry for the Treeland Brake Stone Row. The row also has an entry on the Devon & Dartmoor HER: MDV5827 Treeland Break Stone Row. More information can be found in Butler's "Dartmoor Atlas of Antiquities, volume 4, page 96, map 56.11.
The row also has an entry on the Sandy G's Stone Rows of Great Britain website: Treeland Brake. Sandy adds: "a 1940’s aerial photograph of this field shows a possible prehistoric field system and for this reason this row should be considered probable", concluding: "The photograph of this site is convincing but the site was destroyed before it could be properly recorded and for this reason some doubt must be acknowledged".
