TheCaptain visited on 18th Sep 2020 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 3 Access: 3 Before leaving, I remember that there is supposedly the small remnants of another double stone row to be found a bit west of the longstone, but am not expecting to find them under the vegetation. However, before I even start my search, there they are, much nearer than I expected, and once again the ground around them has been roughly cleared. I find about half a dozen pairs of tiny stones, clearly not in alignment with either the longstone or the other stone row. Their size and spacing reminds me of Porlock row on Exmoor more than a typical Dartmoor avenue. Well that was an unexpected positive result!

There are two stone rows at Laughter Tor. This stone row is also a double row, and is located 12m W of the longstone parallel with this row but just 5 pairs of stones barely show above the turf. [Laughter Tor 1, also a double row, has its own site page - see the 'nearby sites' list below].

This row is featured on the Stone Rows of Great Britain - see their entry for Laughter Tor 2, which includes a description, a plan of the row with its associated mound, descriptions and photographs of the individual stones making up this row, access information and a list of online resources for more information.

The row is also recorded as Pastscape Monument No. 915069, as MDV6002 (Stone Row south of Laughter Tor) on the Devon and Dartmoor HER, and scheduled as part of Historic England List Entry No. 1021047 (Two double stone alignments, cairn and standing stone 700m south west of Laughter Hole Farm).

The row also has an entry on the Prehistoric Dartmoor Walks (PDW) website - see their entry for the Laughter Tor W. Stone Row. Also see PDW's page for the Laughter Tor Stone Row.
