The southern of the two is a short double row, which extends in a northeasterly direction away from a small cairn. There are a several pairs of very closely set stones remaining, including what is probably the end pair, which are slightly larger than the others, about 25m distant from the cairn.

Drizzlecombe W row submitted by Anne T on 15th Jul 2019. In trying to identify this elusive row, Sandy asked members of the group to stand on stones they thought might be part of the stone row. From foreground to background: Janet Daynes, Dave Parks (Prehistoric Dartmoor Walks), Gordon Fisher (just off to the right) and Sandy G. Sandy G is walking down the line of stones. He is planning a return trip later in the year to take a closer look.

Cairn At Head of Drizzlecombe Row 4 submitted by Anne T on 16th Jul 2019. The cairn/circular structure near the standing stone, which can be seen just above centre, in the upper right hand quadrant - a grey shape just poking out of the grass. The circular shape of this cairn can be clearly seen. I understand Sandy G intends going back to take a closer look at this area later in the year.
