TheCaptain visited on 3rd May 2022 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 3 Access: 2 From the Stannon Newtake cairn with cist, I tried to get to the cairn with possible small stone row which is nearby down the hill. However, I could not get through all the chest height gorse and heather to find it. I do think that I saw a couple of the larger stones further down, standing in a cleared area. I later find out that the whole length of the White Ridge stone row has been cleared and links up with these stones, which are possibly the end of that long row.
Possibly associated with this cairn are several stones to the southeast, two of which still stand and may be blocking stones for two short stone rows extending from the cairn.
Update December 2019: This row is featured on the Stone Rows of Great Britain - see their entry for the Stannon Newtake, which tells us: "Following vegetation clearance by the Dartmoor Preservation Association it was found that this line of stones forms part of the White Ridge stone row and is not a row in its own right".
This site is also recorded as Pastscape Monument No. 917480, as MDV54555 (Alignment) on the Devon and Dartmoor HER, and scheduled as part of Historic England List Entry No. 1021339 (Coaxial fields, prehistoric settlement, two cairns and a stone alignment in Little Stannon Newtake, 900m south east of Stannon Tor).
