Log Text: When visited in 2013 car parking was available at SX 62524 61120. Recently (2016) this car parking area has been closed making it much more difficult to access this part of the moor. The alternative car parking location is at SX 64342 59548. From here the easiest way to reach the row is probably to head north alongside the River Erme which will need to be crossed at some point. A decent map and reliable GPS will be essential.

Visited: Yes on 7th Jul 2013. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 4 Access 3
Black Tor SW submitted by SandyG on 26th Sep 2014. Double stone row leading from the cairn. The grey arrows show the position of stones in the northern row and the red arrow a stone in the southern row. This row is composed entirely of small unimpressive stones and is a powerful reminder that this type of monument is often far from visually spectacular.

Trowlesworthy West enclosure
Date Added: 27th Jan 2019
Site Type: Ring Cairn
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 16th May 2015. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 3
Trowlesworthy West enclosure submitted by TheCaptain on 22nd May 2013. A little way from the downhill end of the western stone row is a circular enclosure, about 10m in diameter.
I am not sure whether this is some kind of settlement enclosure (too big for hut circle, too small for animal enclosure) or perhaps a ring cairn.

Log Text: This has never been an easy row to get to. When visited in 2013 car parking was available at SX 62524 61120. Recently (2016) this car parking area has been closed making it much more difficult to access this part of the moor. The alternative car parking location is at SX 64342 59548. From here the easiest way to reach the row is probably to head east to the Two Moors Way at SX 65765 59965. Then follow the track north to SX 64400 64275 where the path to Hook Lake should be taken. Given the effort to get to the area it would be a good idea to have a look at the Upper Erme Row and some the amazing prehistoric settlements at the same time. A full day but hopefully a rewarding one. Best contemplated in the summer.

Log Text: Car parking is available at SW 93533 67827. From here there are two separate routes to the different parts of the row. To visit the Nine Maidens you should with care walk south along the road verge to SW 93748 68225 and then follow the footpath to the stones. To visit the Fiddler you should walk with care northward along the road verge to SW 93748 68225 and then follow the footpath to SW 93935 68182. From this point the stone and vista can be appreciated. To enter the field permission will need to be sought.
