Log Text: This is not an easy stone row to get to. A long walk combined with uneven ground make it difficult and care should be taken to plan carefully. It may be best to combine it with a visit to East Pinford stone row. Car parking is available at SS 83523 42234. From here follow the footpath west past the Madacombe stone row and then head towards the footbridge at SS 80325 42848. After crossing the river follow the footpath to the row.

Furzehill Common 1 submitted by TheCaptain on 18th May 2010. On the western slopes of Furzehill Common ridge, I first found a large boulder like stone, and with some further searching around, I found a sort of line of stones running down the side of the hill.
View here looking northwest, along the West Lyn valley.

Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 12th Apr 2019. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 4 Access 3
Hoaroak 1 submitted by TheCaptain on 30th May 2010. Most of the stones are less than 18 inches long, and fallen, or else just stubs of stone still fast in the ground. Only one stone really stands proudly near the centre of the setting.

Almsworthy
Date Added: 3rd Feb 2020
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Somerset)
Visited: Yes on 11th Apr 2019. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 4
Almsworthy submitted by thecaptain on 24th Nov 2006. Almsworthy Common is stated by various sources to be the remains of two concentric ovals, or up to six lines of stones, but I felt it was fairly random.
Its quite fun wandering round trying to figure out what patterns the stones are making. I can see six in this picture, with a few more hidden from view by the heather.

Date Added: 11th Feb 2020
Site Type: Stone Row / Alignment
Country: Wales (Powys)
Visited: Yes on 6th Sep 2018. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 2
Nant Gwinau submitted by SandyG on 11th Feb 2020. Loosely set stone forming part of a line of similar stones (Scale 1m).
(View photo, vote or add a comment)
Log Text: These stones are loosely set into the upper part of a deep peat deposit and cannot therefore be of prehistoric date. The most likely interpretation is that they are post-medieval boundary markers, perhaps indicating the extent of proposed peat cutting.
