SandyG visited on 12th Apr 2019 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 4 Access: 3 This row can be reached either by walking from Brendon Two Gates (SS 76507 43252) which takes you past the rows on Cheriton Ridge or from Shallowford (SS 71409 44955) which avoids a couple of steep climbs.

Hoaroak 1 submitted by TheCaptain : Most of the stones are less than 18 inches long, and fallen, or else just stubs of stone still fast in the ground. Only one stone really stands proudly near the centre of the setting. (Vote or comment on this photo)
This is a nice little setting of stones, mostly on open grassland, making it easy to see and find! I found six little stones in a D shape, with two or three more downhill from them, plus a few more stones scattered about seemingly randomly.

Most of the stones are less than 18 inches long, and fallen, or else just stubs of stone still fast in the ground. Only one stone really stands proudly near the centre of the setting.

Update October 2019: This row is featured on the Stone Rows of Great Britain website - see their entry for Hoaroak Cottage, NW, which includes a description, a plan of the row from a recent survey carried out in April 2019, photographs of the alignment and the individual stones, access information and a list of online resources for more information. The SRoGB also includes a photograph illustrating the restricted sea views visible from the row.

The row is also recorded as MDE1304 (Prehistoric stone setting northwest of Hoaroak Cottage) and as Pastscape Monument No. 35424. The site is also scheduled as Historic England List Entry No. 1014261 (Hoaroak stone setting 340m north west of Hoaroak Farm).

Stone 4 measures 0.55m long by 0.13m wide stands 0.02m high and is orientated at 120°. This stone probably originally stood elsewhere and was subsequently moved for “safe keeping” to its present location. View from north (Scale 1m).
