SandyG visited on 26th Apr 2018 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 4 Access: 2 Car parking is available at SS 73232 37261. From here head north east towards a gateway at SS 73624 37656. Head north to the stones taking care when descending and ascending the steep hillslopes.
The row is orientated north east to south west.
Update November 2019: This wide, double alignment is featured on the Stone Rows of Great Britain website - see their entry for Squallacombe, which includes a description, a plan of the row from a survey carried out in April and October 2018, photographs of the alignment and its individual stones, access information and a list of online resources for more information.
The row is also recorded as Pastscape Monument No. 35059 and as MSO6809 (Prehistoric stone setting on Squallacombe) on the Exmoor National Park HER. This alignment is not a scheduled ancient monument.
