A Multiple Stone Row in Devon, oncle thought to be a stone circle.

Update October 2019: This stone row is featured on the Stone Rows of Great Britain website - see their entry for Hoccombe Coombe, which includes a description, a plan of the row from a recent survey carried out in April 2018, photographs of the alignment and the individual stones, access information and a list of online resources for more information.

The alignment is also recorded as Pastscape Monument No. 35217, and whilst the stone are marked on the Historic England map, there is no listing or scheduling information for this site. The Exmoor National Park HER also includes an entry for this row; see MDE1256 (Prehistoric stone setting above Hoccombe Combe).
