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.

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...

Laughter Tor Longstone submitted by SandyG on 6th Oct 2014. Longstone at the upper end of the long row. View from north. The short row a short distance west of this stone is hidden in thick heather and we will need to wait for swaling for a photo opportunity.

Assycombe submitted by SandyG on 27th Jul 2013. Small stones are an often overlooked feature of many Dartmoor stone rows. This view of the lower length of the Assycombe double row also highlights the meandering character of many rows. View from the east.
