SandyG visited on 20th Apr 2018 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 3 Access: 3 Limited car parking is available at SS 71410 44956 at Shallowford. From here head south along the path to SS 71330 43866 and enter the field on your right. From here it is a short walk to the row which may be difficult to find in the dense undergrowth.

Notes from SandyG.
Only three stones were found because of dense vegetation covering most of the row.
Stone 1 at SS 71267 43813 measures 0.18m long by 0.10m wide and stands up to 0.14m high.
Stone 2 at SS 71262 43812 measures 0.23m long by 0.16m wide and stands up to 0.19m high.
Stone 3 at SS 71256 43811 measures 0.14m long by 0.10m wide and stands up to 0.01m high.
Update September 2019: This stone row is featured on the Stone Rows of Great Britain website - see their entry for Thornworthy Little Common, which includes a description, photographs, and a section describing and illustrating the Restricted Sea Views from the row of the Bristol Channel and the South Wales Coast, indicating the row may have been built across the line of visibility to the sea.
The row is also recorded as Pastscape Monument No. 870511, which describes up to 16 stones in the row. The Exmoor National Park HER also includes an entry; see MDE8974 (Prehistoric stone row on Thornworthy Little Common), which includes a detailed description.
