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.

Trehudreth Downs C submitted by Bladup on 16th Jul 2015. These stones are to be found a little to the north of the last photo at SX125727. They may be a row but the way they've fallen they look more likely the remains of a circle.

The Hurlers Avenue submitted by theCaptain on 25th Jan 2014. Possible remains of a newly discovered stone avenue, running in an approximately north to south direction, on the moor to the north of the Hurlers stone circles.
From what I saw the two approx parallel lines of stones are about 15 metres from each other, and stones can be found at about 10 metre spacings.

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.
