This stone row is featured on the Stone Rows of Great Britain website - see their entry for Assycombe, which includes a description, a plan of the row with its cairns and round house nearby, and a discussion about the views from the row which extend up to 19km.
This Bronze Age stone row and cairn are also recorded as Pastscape Monument No. 443782, which adds that the blocking stone was re-erected by Baring-Gould.
Prehistoric Dartmoor Walks also includes three pages for this site: Assycombe Standing Stone, the Assycombe Stone Row, and the Assycombe Double Stone Row. The latter contains a detailed description, information from a number of sources and old and modern photographs, including one which shows the row being crossed by a reave.
The row is also recorded as MDV6537 (Assacombe Stone Row) on the Devon and Dartmoor HER, and scheduled as part of Historic England List Entry No. 1017981 (Stone alignment, hut circle settlement, medieval long house and post-medieval farmstead at Assycombe).
