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.

Hoaroak 1 submitted by TheCaptain on 30th May 2010. Most of the stones are less than 18 inches long, and fallen, or else just stubs of stone still fast in the ground. Only one stone really stands proudly near the centre of the setting.

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!

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.

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.

They are bigger than I remember them being - perhaps they have grown in this fine summer weather.

Harford S. submitted by thecaptain on 22nd Jul 2004. Harford Moor South, Dartmoor, Devon SX652599
On Harford Moor, near to the upper reaches of Butter Brook, are the remains of a couple of stone alignments, which are very close together.
The southern of the two is a short double row, which extends in a northeasterly direction away from a small cairn. There are a several pairs of very closely set stones remaining, including what is probably the end pair, which are slightly larger than the others, about 25m distant from the cairn.

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...

Hameldown alignment or Berry Pound as Butler calls it at SX715801, viewed here looking east.
It is quite a challenge to find widely spaced & only a few stones remain
