Upper Erme Row submitted by SandyG on 30th Jul 2013. The Upper Erme stone row curving towards its southern end. Most of the Dartmoor rows are not straight although this one does meander across the landscape rather more than most.

The Hurlers Avenue submitted by theCaptain on 25th Jan 2014. Possible remains of a newly discovered stone avenue, running in an approximately north to south direction, on the moor to the north of the Hurlers stone circles.
From what I saw the two approx parallel lines of stones are about 15 metres from each other, and stones can be found at about 10 metre spacings.

Trehudreth Downs C submitted by Bladup on 16th Jul 2015. These stones are to be found a little to the north of the last photo at SX125727. They may be a row but the way they've fallen they look more likely the remains of a circle.

Sherberton Row submitted by Brian Byng on 7th Feb 2002. Sherberton Double Stone Row.
First recognised by me in 1997 and now listed. An unimpressive row with the stones barely showing above the turf. Location SX 6392 7328 It runs almost N/S & can be traced for about 100m. It appears to be aligned on the large
adjacent Sherberton Stone Circle to the south. The discovery of a row in association with another stone circle on Dartmoor raises the
possibility that more of the stone circles that now stand alone may have had rows.

Cut Hill Cairn submitted by Anne T on 20th Sep 2016. This cairn, at SX 59823 82745, marks the south terminal of the stone row.
Picture courtesy of Prehistoric Dartmoor Walks: "Barrow c20m overall diameter on the top of 'Cut Hill' at 603m OD was observed during a field visit by Tom Greeves in 2004. The 1.5m high circular mound has a military range pole set in it & surface erosion has exposed a turf/peat core with a few stones. The surrounding ditch is over 1m wide & nearly filled with waterlogged vegetation."

Cut Hill Stone Row submitted by Andy B on 10th Apr 2010. Granite Stone Row
Here is the roof of Dartmoor, from the top you can see right all across Dartmoor. In the picture is a piece of granite probably Megalithic in age and is in a series of stones running along the top of this hill. This row is unique within Dartmoor as it the only one with equal spacing within the row and above 600m, 100m above any other row in Dartmoor. The peat has washed away from around the stone but not from underneath, meaning the granite sticks out above the ground.

Log Text: This is not an easy row to get to. It lies within the Okehampton Range and it is only possible to visit when live firing is not taking place. Details of firing times are available online. Access is difficult which ever direction it is approached from. After much thought, I decided that the south looked best. Car parking is available at Postbridge (SX 64667 78839). From here take the footpath leading north to SX 63444 79743. From here continue following the path to SX 62823 80230 and then along the western side of the East Dart River to SX 60837 82087. Follow the line of poles that separate the Okehampton and Merrivale Ranges to SX 59748 82645 then walk north to the row which is at the top of the hill. Allow a whole day and make sure you have map. My journey was eventful. At one point three sky larks attacked a cuckoo, another sky lark collided with me when being chased by a kestrel which then hovered for a few seconds within arms reach, in the middle of nowhere a group of people were partaking in what looked like a delicious cream tea and I was joined for part of the journey by a couple who made the final ascent pass without the expected pain.

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.

Log Text: Roadside car parking is available next to the row at SS 73238 37254. This site is best visited after a prolonged period of dry weather when the rushes have been cut. The gateway leading to the site has subsequently been blocked and access to the field may now be along the road to the south.
