TheCaptain visited on 11th Apr 2019 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 3 Access: 3 The Yar Tor triple stone row is much clearer to see than I remember it being decades ago, when I can barely remember finding much at all. Almost certainly what has become known as the Yar Tor SE rows is a section of the main triple row which has become separated from the main part of the rows. Looking all aound at the top end, by the moneypit cairn, I could find nothing of another set of rows, but I didn't spend too long looking and the gorse here was vicious!

Most probably one and the same set of rows as Yar Tor NW, but various reaves have been driven through breaking them up.
Update August 2019: Both the Stone Rows of Great Britain and Prehistoric Dartmoor Walks have visited this site and agree it is part of one long stone row with Yar Tor NW (see nearby sites below). For more information see the Stone Rows of Great Britain's website for Yar Tor, which includes a description, photographs and a plan of the row and its associated cairns. SRoGB adds: "(this is) a triple stone row measuring at least 250m long, including at least 124 mainly small-sized stones together with some medium and a few large-sized stones situated in a col between high ground to the west and east with landscape and sea view reveals" - see Sea Views at Yar Tor for details of the latter.
This row is also recorded as Pastscape Monument No. 442883 and scheduled as Historic England List ID 1003288 (Yar Tor stone row and adjacent cist). HE gives the co-ordinates for both ends of this triple alignment with two terminal cairns (one of which contains a cist) as SX 68066 74043 and SX 68197 73855. The Devon and Dartmoor HER also includes a record for the MDV6459 (Yar Tor Triple Stone Row).
The row is also featured on the Prehistoric Dartmoor Walks (PDW) website see their entry for the Yar Tor Stone Row, which includes a photograph and description, plus links to other reference sources.
