Log Text: Roadside car parking is available at SX 56985 71765. From here the row can be reached across open moorland. The row is situated about 600m to the east. The River Meavy needs to be crossed and it is usually possible to do this via a very narrow “footbridge”.

Log Text: Limited parking is available at SX 26006 76124. From here walk north along the bridleway to SX 25940 76282 where the left branch in the track should be followed. The lower slopes of the hill are covered in dense vegetation and it is easy to get lost in the myriad of small tracks, but experience showed that it is best to stick to the more clearly defined ones or alternatively visit in the winter or spring when the vegetation is likely to be less of a problem. It is certainly worth making the effort.
High Bridestones (Yorks)
Date Added: 8th Jan 2018
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Yorkshire (North))
Visited: Yes on 19th Sep 2017. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 4 Access 5
High Bridestones (Yorks) submitted by JimChampion on 7th Dec 2007. August 2007. The High Bridestones, on the moor. Just one of the megaliths is still standing, with small change firmly wedged into its many crevices. A megalithic shambles indeed. The heather in bloom says that it is summer, although the temperature (and wind) on this day was more like winter!

Log Text: Limited car parking available next to the row at NZ 85048 04719.
Despite the problems associated with determining which stones are natural and which ones were placed it is probable that this is a stone row leading away from one of the two stone circles in this area. The presence of considerable quantities of surface stone means that without excavation it is not possible to be certain that this is a stone row.

Hoccombe Hill (E) submitted by TheCaptain on 30th Jul 2007. In the deepest, darkest depths of Exmoor, can be found the remains of this stone setting, which is probably hardly ever seen or known by anybody.

Holne Moor submitted by SandyG on 4th Oct 2014. This alignment is no less important because only small stones were selected by its builders. Visually it is certainly less spectacular but despite this it provides tangible evidence of prehistoric ritual. View from north west.

Log Text: This has never been an easy row to get to. When visited in 2013 car parking was available at SX 62524 61120. Recently (2016) this car parking area has been closed making it much more difficult to access this part of the moor. The alternative car parking location is at SX 64342 59548. From here the easiest way to reach the row is probably to head east to the Two Moors Way at SX 65765 59965. Then follow the track north to SX 64400 64275 where the path to Hook Lake should be taken. Given the effort to get to the area it would be a good idea to have a look at the Upper Erme Row and some the amazing prehistoric settlements at the same time. A full day but hopefully a rewarding one. Best contemplated in the summer.

Inverewe
Date Added: 16th Feb 2020
Site Type: Class I Pictish Symbol Stone
Country: Scotland (Highlands)
Visited: Yes on 13th Jul 2018. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 3 Access 5
Inverewe submitted by andy_h on 14th Aug 2006. To be found in the ruined churchyard up the turning by the campsite, re-used as a grave slab. The stone is located at the back end of the ruined church and is a little hard to find, as it is very worn and looks much like other grave slabs around it. It depicts a crescent and a 'V'. Another Pictish stone can be seen in Gairloch Heritage Museum, which depicts a fish and the lower part of an eagle.
