SandyG visited on 13th Apr 2019 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 4 Access: 1 This is not an easy stone row to get to. A long walk combined with uneven ground make it difficult and care should be taken to plan carefully. It may be best to combine it with a visit to East Pinford stone row. Car parking is available at SS 83523 42234. From here follow the footpath west past the Madacombe stone row and then head towards the footbridge at SS 80325 42848. After crossing the river follow the footpath to the row.
This stone row is featured on the Stone Rows of Great Britain's website - see their entry for West Pinford. The row is made up of seven small and medium sized stones with a length of 65.7m, and stands within the context of another stone row, stone settings and a cairn.
The SRoGB entry includes a description, a plan of the row and photographs. It was first visited and surveyed in April 2019. SandyG describes this as "not an easy stone (row) to get to. A long walk combined with uneven ground make it difficult and care should be taken to plan carefully." See the 'Access Information' section on the SRoGB webpage for more recommendations on how to reach this row, along with places to park.
