SandyG visited on 7th Jul 2013 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 4 Access: 3 Car parking is available at SX 68060 62906. The row is about 650m to the north up a moderately steep hill across open moorland.
Update August 2019: This stone row is featured on the Prehistoric Dartmoor Walks (PDW) website - see their entry for the Black Tor (Avon) Stone Row.
The row is also recorded as Pastscape Monument No. 441986, although a field investigators report from 1977 says the row could not be found.
The row is also recorded on the Stone Rows of Great Britain: Black Tor (Avon) Stone Row, which tells us this is "a double stone row measuring 56m long, including 22 small-sized stones". The SRoGB entry includes photographs of the row and its associated cairns, and a plan of the row. For a discussion of the views that come into play as you walk along the length of the row see Sea Views at Black Tor (Avon).
The Devon & Dartmoor HER MDC5778 records this as part of a monument as a cairn and two barrows, having Protected Status; it is scheduled along with three enclosed hut groups on Black Tor - see Historic England List ID 1002505.
