Excerpt from a booklet titled: “ 'The Stone Rows of Dartmoor. Part 1' by R. Hansford Worth." "[Reprinted from The Transactions of the Devonshire Association for the Advancement of Science, Literature and Art, 1946. Vol. lxxviii pp. 285-315.]”

Worth presents his list of rows in sections under the name of the river or watershed of each area.

FERNWORTHY GROUP
The Fernworthy Group consists of two fairly well preserved double rows, and the remnant of another. It is unusual in that a stone circle (as opposed to a retaining circle) is more closely associated with the rows than in any other group. A plan is needed to supplement the written description; see plate 38.
42. FERNWORTHY C.
Abreast of row A, at a distance of 44 feet to the east, lies the centre of a cairn; and at a distance of 72 feet from the row a kistvaen in a barrow. From the centre of the cairn to the kist is a distance of 104 feet; between the two are clear evidences of a ruined double row, which is thus 104 feet in length. The direction of length is N. 19⁰ E.
From the graves associated with this group has come the best evidence which we have as to the probable period to which the rows must be attributed; a food vessel of beaker ware, and a horn button or dress fastener. It will be remembered that beaker ware was found in a kistvaen associated with the Drizzlecombe rows. The elevation of the ground at the stone circle is 1,350 feet O.D. falling somewhat N. and S. from this point.
Something is not right. This message is just to keep things from messing up down the road
