Longstone Barrow Row submitted by thecaptain on 18th Mar 2008. There should be three stones in a row here.
I spent much time searching around amongst the tall wet grasses and heather, but I couldn’t find a single stone.

Log Text: Car parking is available at SS 72444 40419. From here take the footpath north to SS 72311 42209. Turn left and follow the path to Woodbarrow Gate at SS 71648 42509. Enter Woodbarrow Hangings and follow the northern side of the wall past some very fine cairns to a gateway SS 70833 42583. From here head south west. Perhaps you will have more luck than I did. The stones were seen in 2018 and I have seen photographs of them. I am going to try and have another look when I am next on Exmoor.

Madacombe submitted by thecaptain on 27th Sep 2006. Madacombe stone row, Exmoor. Its in there somewhere.
Could I find anything ? No chance !!!! I found nothing at all, wading around in waist deep wet grass and heather. If there are any stones to be found here, they are well hidden under the wet moorland growth. I did however, get soaking wet and a twisted ankle for my efforts !

Cheriton Ridge stone row submitted by TheCaptain on 20th Feb 2011. Looking along the length of the Cheriton Ridge stone row.
The stones are tiny and very difficult to find, with most of them probably buried under the turf and heather.

Furzehill Common stone row submitted by TheCaptain on 19th May 2010. Here I found four little stumps of stone in a row, in a boggy hollow on top of the ridge. They are spaced 2.5, 5, 2.5 metres apart, suggesting a missing stone in between those I could find.

Cheriton Ridge 2 submitted by TheCaptain on 23rd Feb 2011. This stone setting is easily found, even though the four standing stones are each no more than a foot tall. At first, the four standers seem to be four stones of a six pack, with the other two still in place but broken.

Culbone Stone submitted by PhilipGlastonbury on 23rd May 2013. Culbone Stone took ages to find, but it was worth it. The wood has an odd atmosphere, and the stone - when you eventually find it - seems to be waiting for you.
