Down Tor stone row submitted by TimPrevett on 10th Jun 2002. This is where it all began for me: Down Tor, on Dartmoor. A chance encounter on a beautiful day and night with an awesome stone circle and row. This is where the stones bug bit me! Taken with a simple automatic 35mm camera.

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...

Pig Hill (S) submitted by TimPrevett on 7th Jul 2002. Pig Hill Stone Setting
[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.

Furzehill Common stone row submitted by TimPrevett on 7th Jul 2002. Furzehill stone row SS738440
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.]

Four larger stones with one stone fallen, in a zig-zag pattern; 3 stones about 3 feet tall each, and a long stone at the end is lying. Very impressive this site.

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.
