TheCaptain visited on 11th Jun 2022 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 4 Access: 3 Standing stone, and a couple of prostrate slabs and stumps on Cardinham Moor, beyond what is described as the southern end of the stone row. From the leaning pillar which is described as Stone 1 of the stone row, I could see another stone standing to the south, so went for a look, where I found a couple more. These stones are further to the south, and in as good a line as the rest of the stone row (its not straight, is it!). They also show up on the detailed OS maps (about SX 131 712). Which begs the question. Is the leaning pillar really the southern end of the stone row? Is this stone a separate entity? Or could it be a continuation of the stone row?

A couple of the row can be made out in the original picture, just below and to the left of the tree on the horizon in the middle. Beyond is the A30 and Trehudreth Moor with Roughtor on the horizon to the right. (Vote or comment on this photo)
