Log Text: Worth having a look at when visiting the nearby stone rows. Car parking is available at SX 64338 59550. Follow the bridleway heading east for 1.4km then head south. There is plenty to see in this area.
Porlock Allotment NE
Date Added: 26th Jan 2018
Site Type: Standing Stones
Country: England (Somerset)
Visited: Yes on 4th Mar 2016. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 4 Access 3
Porlock Allotment NE submitted by thecaptain on 2nd Nov 2006. What can be found is a large stone which looks like it might once have been standing. It’s a sort of triangular shape, 2.5 m long by 1.5 m wide.
I thought this was a lovely place above the conjugation of the two streams, all very atmospheric.

Log Text: Car parking is available at SS 84543 44569. From here walk northward along the roadside verge for about 50m, then cross the road and enter the field on you left using the gateway. Head westward passing the stone circle. Best visited in the winter or spring months when the bracken is not growing.
Green Hill - Stall Moor
Date Added: 19th Jan 2018
Site Type: Stone Row / Alignment
Country: England (Devon)

Green Hill - Stall Moor submitted by SandyG on 29th Jul 2013. The row meandering up the hillslope at SX 6368 6631. View from the south. This length of row clearly refutes the idea that the Dartmoor rows are always straight.

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. An 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 64683 63454. From here navigate north west taking care when crossing the River Erme. Given the effort to get to the area it would be a good idea to have a look at the Hook Lake Row and if you have time the splendid one on Stalldown as well as some the amazing prehistoric settlements. Another option maybe to park at SX 60395 70806 and approach the row from the north via Crane Hill. A full day but hopefully a rewarding one. Best contemplated in the summer.

Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 16th Apr 2013. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 5 Access 3
Down Tor stone row submitted by SandyG on 4th Oct 2014. The row is far from straight. The length nearest the stone circle is sinuous in character. View along the row from the north east.

Sharpitor NE submitted by SandyG on 27th Jul 2015. On foggy Dartmoor days the archaeology can somehow seem bigger. Cairn below the the stone row has clearly been the target of early explorers. (23rd March 2013).

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: Car parking is available at SX 55313 75017 or SX 56050 74895. The row is a relatively short walk away from either car park. It is worth having a look at the stone circle a short distance to the north of the row. The row is easiest found by walking towards the large standing stone situated close by.
