Possible Stone Row on the northeastern slopes of Sharpitor in Devon.

This row is referred to in the Burl book, and even appears on the OS map, but is difficult to find any remains of. The Butler book suggests that none of the stones here are anything other than naturally positioned.

What is here are 3 damaged cairns, one with a remaining cist.
