E.H. Rogers standing at the end of The Yelland Multiple Stone Row (approx 1932). The site is now covered by tidal silt and is located within the RSPB nature reserve of Isley Marsh.
Update August 2019: This stone row is recorded on the Stone Rows of Great Britain website - see their entry for the Yelland Stone Row, which includes a description, a photograph and a plan of the row. SRoGB tells us the row is 34.5m long, and comprises 22 small and medium stones.
The row is also recorded as Pastcape Monument No. 33321, which adds "(this is a) double stone row partly in (a) tidal area)", and scheduled as Historic England List ID 1003847 (Double stone alignment on Isley Marsh 535m north of Lower Yelland Farm).
Note: The stone rows are by a river and should be visited at low tide.
