Stone Row / Alignment in Devon
The Historic Environment Record for Badgworthy Lees, reference MEM23034, says that this is a possible stone row. "During a site visit in July 2012, a group of stones were noted in an area with no other obvious surface stone. It was tentatively suggested to be a prehistoric stone row" of Early Neolithic to Late Bronze Age (4,000 BC to 701 BC).
Set within the Exmoor National Park, the site of this possible stone row sits at an altitude of 333 metres, within a context of cairns. The site does not have a view over the sea. Nothing is (yet) known about the number and size of stones or the orientation of the row. The monument has yet to be assessed for scheduling.
The Modern Antiquarian web site also lists two standing stones nearby, the first at SS 78784467, the second at SS 788446. Our Portal also has a page for these stones, but with no details - can you help?
