Glasscombe Ball North
Date Added: 29th Jan 2019
Site Type: Stone Row / Alignment
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 9th Mar 2013. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 4 Access 2
Glasscombe Ball North submitted by SandyG on 29th Sep 2014. A line of prostrate granite slabs protruding through dead molinia does not offer a great photographic opportunity. One day I will return with my pole and see if I can improve on this offering. The fact that no stones remain standing strongly supports the idea that they have been deliberately felled. View from the north east with the terminal cairn on the skyline.
