Sharpitor Northwest Stone Rows, Sharpitor, Dartmoor, Devon SX557706
Visited Friday, 4th June 2004
Situated on the north western slopes of Sharpitor, just to the south of the B3212 by Goatstone Pool, can be found the remains of a fairly ruinous double stone row and a single stone row. The remains of the double row start at a flattened cairn at the western end, and travel roughly eastwards over the crest of the hill, past the pool and car park to a couple of large slabs and a blocking stone about 10 metres away. The stones are mostly very small, with many of them missing.
At the eastern end of the double row is the remains of a single row, at a slight angle to the double row, but again this row is very ruinous.
Beyond the downhill ends of these rows is a nice little cairn which survives in a much better condition, with remains of a central cist, and a surrounding stone kerb.
Something is not right. This message is just to keep things from messing up down the road
