Furzehill Common stone row
Date Added: 22nd Jan 2019
Site Type: Stone Row / Alignment
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 30th Jul 2018. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 2
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.

Finlaggan submitted by Andy B on 13th Jun 2011. Finlaggan Standing Stone
A solitary Standing Stone , naturally predating the Lordship of the Isles. As ever various theories surround the placing and use of the stone. However in 1994 Geophysic surveys by the "Time Team" suggest that there may have originally been a line of stones marking the way to Jura.

Fernworthy stone row SE
Date Added: 14th Jan 2018
Site Type: Stone Row / Alignment
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 28th Apr 2013. My rating: Condition 1 Ambience 3 Access 4
Fernworthy stone row SE submitted by SandyG on 28th Sep 2014. Tiny stones protruding through the turf make this row difficult to photograph. A useful reminder however that many rows include stones which would have required very little effort to move and raise. This does not detract from their significance although it is perhaps remarkable that they have survived so well for so long.
