Log Text: Car parking is available at SX 52178 77879. From the car park follow the track leading eastward. This one is a bit of slog, pretty much all uphill for over 3kms. The row is situated just inside 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. It’s a long way to go to find you can’t visit.

Log Text: Although not impressive the straight sides to this enclosure combined with its proximity to the Corringdon Ball stone rows, cairns and chambered strongly supports the hypothesis this is is a Neolithic enclosure. There are no others like this on Dartmoor.

Corringdon Ball submitted by thecaptain on 24th Oct 2004. Corringdon Ball site overview.
This is the view looking southwest from Brent Fore Hill, overlooking the Corringdon Ball site. I have tried to mark out the various sites.
In the background is the Butterdon Hill to Piles Hill ridge with its enormous number of sites. Again, I have tried to mark out the various rows and features which would be seen in this view.

Cosdon Hill Cairn Circle submitted by TheCaptain on 10th Jun 2004. Cosdon Hill Cairn Circle, Dartmoor, Devon SX643916
On a flatter shelf of land on the eastern side of Cosdon Hill are the splendid remains of a cairn and treble stone row.
The remains of the cairn at the uphill end of the rows is approx 8 metres in diameter, and has been substantially messed about with. Despite this, there are the clear remains of a double cist in the centre of the cairn, the downhill one of which still has its capstone largely in place. Several stones also remain in place...

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.
