finds.

Log Text: This stone row stands within the Merrivale military live firing range and it is important that you check that there is no firing and that the range is open for visitors before you set off. It can be reached either from the west or south. If approaching from the west, car parking is available at SX 52178 77879. From the car park follow the track leading eastward. This is a bit of slog but has the advantage of passing the stone row at Langstone Moor. Alternatively, access from the south is much easier although there is no path. Car parking is available at SX 59145 76462 and from here you should head due north across Black Dunghill before crossing Conies Down Water.
A series of landmark reveals and other visual links to the surrounding landscape have been identified at Conies Down. These centre around a group of tors to the south west, but North Hessary Tor to the south and Conies Down Tor feature in what are a particularly interesting series of visual treats. The row itself is not remarkable but the way in which it seemingly relates to the surrounding landscape is.

East Moor stone row

East Moor stone row submitted by TheCaptain on 25th May 2010. When visiting East Moor stone row on Sunday 23 May, I found the row easily without resorting to my new GPS.
While part way walking along the row, which I thought would be recorded as a part of my track, an idea came to me. My new toy could be used to record each stone as I found it by making a waypoint.
Now its just a case of figuring out what to do with all the data. Here is a first attempt to show the results by simply reading the data into Google Earth.

The Hurlers Pipers submitted by JimChampion on 24th Aug 2007. View through the 'goalposts' of the Pipers, neatly framing Stowe's Hill in the distance (home of the Cheesewring natural rock feature and the neolithic enclosure of Stowe's Pound). These two stones stand to the west of the Hurlers stone circles. The dung in the foreground is from the ponies that graze the moor.

Log Text: I had the great fortune of being shown around the row by Roy Goutté and some members of the TimeSeekers Clearance Group, who were responsible for revealing many of the stones. I would like to thank them for their hospitality and sharing their considerable knowledge of the site. It was a pleasure to meet such interesting people.
This row has recently been partially cleared and recorded by the TimeSeekers Clearance Group led by Roy Goutté who found previously unrecorded stones and a possible cist. This work also revealed a visual treat which is certainly worth mentioning. Along the entire length of the row until the western end is reached at a point they call The Terminal, Brown Gelly complete with cairn on top is completely invisible. However, at the Terminal the cairn at the top of Brown Gelly is suddenly revealed though the hill itself remains hidden from view (Goutté, 2016, 3) Another example of a very precise visual relationship between a row and its landscape. The cumulative evidence for these visual links illustrates that the stone rows were carefully placed within the landscape to acknowledge and celebrate them. Goutté notes a second visual link available from The Terminal. At this point he notes that Brown Willy is perfectly framed in the saddle of rising ground” (Goutté, 2016, 2). This is reminiscent of the view available from the lower end of the Yar Tor stone alignment on Dartmoor.
In common with all the longer rows this alignment is far from straight and Goutté has identified a point close to the tinners’ gully where the orientation of the row shifts. This point may have been of particular significance to the row builders or may indicate an extension to the original row.
Limited parking is available at SX 20389 80372. From here follow the path westward to the row.

Broomrigg A submitted by rich32 on 22nd Jul 2004. Broomrigg A, Cumbria (NY548467)
The Broomrigg sites are set in a pine plantation and are near to a track This image shows part of Broomrigg ‘A’, it was quite difficult to get more in the shot due to the trees. I also found Broomrigg ‘B’, but gave up on ‘C’ & ‘D’ due to eating too many flies (protein or no protein not nice) and a dodgy GPS signal.

Log Text: The stone row is in a working forest and access is therefore sensibly restricted on occasions. Parking is available at NY 54190 46783. From here walk along the forest tracks to the row.

Eyre Stone Rows submitted by SandyG on 6th Jan 2018. Length of field boundary previously identified as a double stone row. View from south east (Scale 1m).
(View photo, vote or add a comment)
Log Text: The feature described in Canmore forms part of a field boundary that extends further west to NG 57452 34870. The length that was previously described is hidden by bracken making photography difficult in the summer months. The features described are however all discernible. The pairs of stones described are almost touching and represent two sides of an incomplete wall. Walls of this type are present in the vicinity and it was probably intended that the wall would have butted a nearby field boundary at around NG 57541 34821. This is definitely a field boundary and not a stone row.

A closer view of the stones
It is said that these stones were erected here by Fingal and his fellow hunters to suspend a pot in which whole deer were cooked over a fire to make venison stew.

Log Text: Car parking is available at NB 22492 32928. From here follow the path to Callanish 3 stone circle which is well worth visiting before heading south towards the high ground. Cross the boggy ground towards the gate that provides access to the field in which the row is situated. Visitors need to be aware that special care should be taken to protect against ticks. At the time of the visit large numbers of ticks were encountered at the stone row.
