Park at the Mull Pottery and take the track just north of the buildings which leads west up-hill. The stones are around 400m in, on a raised platform. There are 3 stones here, the centre one being recumbent. The northern stone is the larger, being just over 2.5m in height. The row runs roughly N-S, and the southern stone is well under 2m. The central recumbent stone looks as if it would have been the largest, it's around 3m long in its current position.

Ballinaby submitted by Andy B on 13th Jun 2011. Standing Stone Near Ballinaby
This tall stone is clearly visible from the road to the north of Loch Gorm, but is hidden from view on the path leading in from Saligo Bay. It's worth the walk. There's a second smaller stone in the next square, just visible in the left-hand side of this shot below a rocky outcrop.

Assycombe submitted by SandyG on 27th Jul 2013. Small stones are an often overlooked feature of many Dartmoor stone rows. This view of the lower length of the Assycombe double row also highlights the meandering character of many rows. View from the east.

Log Text: Car parking is available at SH 65755 14316. Walk south along the public highway to SH 65863 14226. From here head south along a footpath to SH 65545 13823. Then head west to SH 65288 13938. The row is in the field on your left and can be seen clearly. Permission to enter the field will need to be sought locally.
Originally interpreted as a stone circle, the surviving evidence best fits the idea that this is a kerbed cairn associated with a truncated stone alignment. It has been suggested by Lynch that stones C and D “may have been moved when the monument was incorporated into a field wall” (Lynch, 1995, 56). Whilst this suggestion cannot be wholly refuted, the stones stand some distance from the former field wall and tantalisingly the form of the site is very reminiscent of the stone alignments at Lakehead Hill East and Merrivale 3, where stones of earlier stone rows had been partly incorporated into a later cairn. On balance, the lack of any evidence to support the field wall interpretation combined with the powerful parallels lends considerable support to the hypothesis that this site represents a stone alignment. Final confirmation, as with so many rows, may only be possible after excavation.
