Longstone Barrow Row submitted by thecaptain on 18th Mar 2008. There should be three stones in a row here.
I spent much time searching around amongst the tall wet grasses and heather, but I couldn’t find a single stone.

Enter Woodbarrow Hangings and follow the northern side of the wall past some very fine cairns to a gateway SS 70833 42583. From here head south west. Perhaps you will have more luck than I did. The stones were seen in 2018 and I have seen photographs of them. I am going to try and have another look when I am next on Exmoor.

Quartz stones are everywhere, scattered around loose on the ground. Thanks to the book Ancient Exmoor I was able to follow these quartz rocks on through the hedge at the back of the photo, across the road and into the field the other side, and for several hundred yards distance after the road.

Log Text: Roadside car parking is available next to the row at SS 73238 37254. This site is best visited after a prolonged period of dry weather when the rushes have been cut. The gateway leading to the site has subsequently been blocked and access to the field may now be along the road to the south.
Cut Hill Cairn

Cut Hill Cairn submitted by Anne T on 20th Sep 2016. This cairn, at SX 59823 82745, marks the south terminal of the stone row.
Picture courtesy of Prehistoric Dartmoor Walks: "Barrow c20m overall diameter on the top of 'Cut Hill' at 603m OD was observed during a field visit by Tom Greeves in 2004. The 1.5m high circular mound has a military range pole set in it & surface erosion has exposed a turf/peat core with a few stones. The surrounding ditch is over 1m wide & nearly filled with waterlogged vegetation."

Cut Hill Stone Row

Cut Hill Stone Row submitted by Andy B on 10th Apr 2010. Granite Stone Row
Here is the roof of Dartmoor, from the top you can see right all across Dartmoor. In the picture is a piece of granite probably Megalithic in age and is in a series of stones running along the top of this hill. This row is unique within Dartmoor as it the only one with equal spacing within the row and above 600m, 100m above any other row in Dartmoor. The peat has washed away from around the stone but not from underneath, meaning the granite sticks out above the ground.

Log Text: This is not an easy row to get to. It lies within the Okehampton Range and it is only possible to visit when live firing is not taking place. Details of firing times are available online. Access is difficult which ever direction it is approached from. After much thought, I decided that the south looked best. Car parking is available at Postbridge (SX 64667 78839). From here take the footpath leading north to SX 63444 79743. From here continue following the path to SX 62823 80230 and then along the western side of the East Dart River to SX 60837 82087. Follow the line of poles that separate the Okehampton and Merrivale Ranges to SX 59748 82645 then walk north to the row which is at the top of the hill. Allow a whole day and make sure you have map. My journey was eventful. At one point three sky larks attacked a cuckoo, another sky lark collided with me when being chased by a kestrel which then hovered for a few seconds within arms reach, in the middle of nowhere a group of people were partaking in what looked like a delicious cream tea and I was joined for part of the journey by a couple who made the final ascent pass without the expected pain.
Sherberton Row
Date Added: 26th Jan 2019
Site Type: Stone Row / Alignment
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 23rd Feb 2018. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 3
Sherberton Row submitted by Brian Byng on 7th Feb 2002. Sherberton Double Stone Row.
First recognised by me in 1997 and now listed. An unimpressive row with the stones barely showing above the turf. Location SX 6392 7328 It runs almost N/S & can be traced for about 100m. It appears to be aligned on the large
adjacent Sherberton Stone Circle to the south. The discovery of a row in association with another stone circle on Dartmoor raises the
possibility that more of the stone circles that now stand alone may have had rows.

Trowlesworthy West enclosure submitted by TheCaptain on 22nd May 2013. A little way from the downhill end of the western stone row is a circular enclosure, about 10m in diameter.
I am not sure whether this is some kind of settlement enclosure (too big for hut circle, too small for animal enclosure) or perhaps a ring cairn.

Corringdon Ball submitted by thecaptain on 24th Oct 2004. Corringdon Ball site overview.
This is the view looking southwest from Brent Fore Hill, overlooking the Corringdon Ball site. I have tried to mark out the various sites.
In the background is the Butterdon Hill to Piles Hill ridge with its enormous number of sites. Again, I have tried to mark out the various rows and features which would be seen in this view.

Burford Down Stone Row submitted by Tom_Bullock on 9th Jul 2002. The Burford Down stone row, one of the finest in
Dartmoor, shows evidence of recent damage by whatever farmer is running
huge tractors across the fields. S(he) has been driving right through
the rows (perpendicular to them) along several tracks. I saw evidence of
at least 3 stones that had been dislodged and pushed aside by the wheels
of the tractor. I don't know if there is a procedure for reporting such
damage, or even if the farmer is liable for such damage. I have never, in my 12 year...

Harford Moor N submitted by thecaptain on 22nd Jul 2004. Harford Moor North, Dartmoor, Devon SX652599
At the upper reaches of Butterbrook are a double and a single row of stones, on a similar alignment. The northern single row crosses beyond the end of the double row. The stones are smaller than those of the double row, some hardly showing above the ground, and not easy to see in all the loose natural stone of the area. There is no obvious western end to the row, and the furthest stones here are more or less adjacent to the cairn of the double row...
