This area was once covered by forest, so working out what is here is not made easy, perhaps there is more buried under the forest floor. The northern terminus of the row has a cairn, but there is nothing obvious of the southern terminus, with just 20m of stones to be seen.
Update October 2019: This stone row is featured on the Prehistoric Dartmoor Walks (PDW) website - see their entries for the Fernworthy S.E. Stone Row and the Fernworthy Ceremonial Complex
The row is also recorded as Pastscape Monument No. 443898 and on the Devon and Dartmoor HER as MDV6556 (Eastern Stone row to south of Fernworthy Stone Circle). The row is also scheduled as part of Historic England List ID 1017984 (A stone circle, known as Fernworthy Circle, three stone alignments and five cairns 425m and 525m north west of Sandeman Bridge).
The Stone Rows of Great Britain also includes an entry for this alignment - see Fernworthy 2 (SE), which includes a description, photographs of the alignment and the individual stones, a plan showing the inter-relationship of the Fernworthy stone rows and their associated stone circle and cairns, plus access information and links to other online resources for more information.
