Harford S. submitted by thecaptain on 22nd Jul 2004. Harford Moor South, Dartmoor, Devon SX652599
On Harford Moor, near to the upper reaches of Butter Brook, are the remains of a couple of stone alignments, which are very close together.
The southern of the two is a short double row, which extends in a northeasterly direction away from a small cairn. There are a several pairs of very closely set stones remaining, including what is probably the end pair, which are slightly larger than the others, about 25m distant from the cairn.

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.

Lanacombe 3 submitted by TheCaptain on 1st Aug 2007. My hat and bag are marking the positions of fallen stones I found under the turf.
It looked to me as if this setting was once perhaps two rows running up the hillside, perhaps a sixpack.

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.

Log Text: Limited parking is available at SX 26006 76124. From here walk north along the bridleway to SX 25940 76282 where the left branch in the track should be followed. The lower slopes of the hill are covered in dense vegetation and it is easy to get lost in the myriad of small tracks, but experience showed that it is best to stick to the more clearly defined ones or alternatively visit in the winter or spring when the vegetation is likely to be less of a problem. It is certainly worth making the effort.

Visited: Yes on 23rd Mar 2018. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 5 Access 1
Careg Lywd 2 submitted by SandyG on 23rd Oct 2019. Looking north along the row. The northern length of the row has been exposed by peat erosion and a shift in orientation coincides with an adjacent rock outcrop which blocks views from parts of the row. The row is orientated NNW to SSE and there is another stone row in the vicinity.

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.
