Date Visited Wednesday 3rd May 2000
These two sizeable stones, likely barrow remnants, situated a couple miles west of Porlock, and several miles east of Lynton, are easily accessible.
Heading west from Porlock (the hill coming out of Porlock is VERY steep and not for the faint hearted!), keep an eye out for a fork in the A39. When you see the fork, keep going along the A39; to the right there are two car parks; take the second car park, as this puts you within one ...

Counted 30 stones, many under the heather & some lying loose on the ground. It is a large diameter circle making it impossible to photograph as a whole. There are four larger stones at the top end of the circle and four more the same at the bottom end.

SE from Combe Martin, along the A399, west of Parracombe, lie a group of standing stones. Off the A399, turn right onto Down Lane, which has a broad green strip up the middle for as far as you can see. We parked in front of gate, (a wind pump should be to your front left) to allow for space for other vehicles; however, we wer...

Quartz stones are everywhere, scattered around loose on the ground. Thanks to the book Ancient Exmoor I was able to follow these quartz rocks on through the hedge at the back of the photo, across the road and into the field the other side, and for several hundred yards distance after the road.

Heading east from Ilfracombe, through Combe Martin, along the A399, an unclear left turn is needed! If I remember correctly, there was a signpost for Silver Dale Nurseries, which takes you along the required road. As is often the case, the road is steep, narrow, and very bendy! After a while, there will be two lanes either side of the road, in short succession. First to the left, then to the right. V...

Due to the explicit request not to go off the path, I did not get much evidence of the stone row. This was maddeningly frustrating, given its imminent proximity! However, having studied the map, I went back to where the car was parked, turned left further up the track, and then left up another track, where it intersects the stone row (fenced off with barbed wire). Two stones were just visible to my left through the dense ov...

[No grid reference given by RG, but I assume that this is likely Pig Hill Multiple Stone Rows at SS765444. Tim]
This consists of a semi-circle with a central stone that aligns with two stones in the semi-circle, making a row of three. Also one stone outside does not appear to line up to any others. This site reminds me of Almsworthy Stone Circle, which is incomplete and has other stones outsides, and inside confusing sites with similarities.

Very small pair of stones marked on the map, but not accompanied by wording.
[Could this be the remains of Furzehill Common SE Stone Row, as the GR for that is SS738439? Tim.]

A square shaped setting (fourth stone broken off at ground level) with a flat stone in the middle. The only group of stones I have seem on Exmoor on an improved pasture where the sheep graze all the grass. Survived well considering it's on more intensive farmland rather than open moor.
