Burford Down Cairn Circle
Date Added: 29th Jan 2019
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 2nd May 2018. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 4 Access 3
Burford Down Stone Row submitted by Tom_Bullock on 9th Jul 2002. The Burford Down stone row, one of the finest in
Dartmoor, shows evidence of recent damage by whatever farmer is running
huge tractors across the fields. S(he) has been driving right through
the rows (perpendicular to them) along several tracks. I saw evidence of
at least 3 stones that had been dislodged and pushed aside by the wheels
of the tractor. I don't know if there is a procedure for reporting such
damage, or even if the farmer is liable for such damage. I have never, in my 12 year...

Butterdon Hill Row submitted by SandyG on 27th Sep 2014. In places along the length of the row the alignment is formed by series of small stones placed very close together. This is a common feature of the Dartmoor rows although their tiny size means that this characteristic is often overlooked.

Butterdon Stone Circle submitted by SandyG on 27th Sep 2014. Cairn at the southern end of the row. The large recumbent slabs surround the cairn and probably represent either a once impressive kerb or stone circle.

The cairn/circular structure near the standing stone, which can be seen just above centre, in the upper right hand quadrant - a grey shape just poking out of the grass.
