SandyG visited on 10th Sep 2017 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 5 Access: 2 Parking is available at SD 14256 80685. From here walk carefully along the busy main road to SD 14106 80780. Take the footpath on the right and follow to SD 14880 81350. From here take the track to the row.
Update October 2019: This alignment is featured on the Stone Rows of Great Britain website - see their entry for Lacra, South West, which includes a description, a plan of the Lacra stone rows and their associated stone circle, photographs of the aligment (showing its context within the landscape) and the individual stones. The SRoGB entry also includes access information and links to other online resources for more information. They also include a section for 'Landscape Reveals: Sea Triangle', illustrating how a triangle of sea becomes visible at the top of the row.
The row is also recorded as part of Pastscape Monument No. 37286 and scheduled as part of Historic England List Entry No. 1009111(Two stone circles, a stone avenue and a stone alignment at Great Knott, Lacra).
