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
