Black Tor SW
Date Added: 27th Jan 2019
Site Type: Multiple Stone Rows / Avenue
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 7th Jul 2013. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 4 Access 3
Black Tor SW submitted by SandyG on 26th Sep 2014. Double stone row leading from the cairn. The grey arrows show the position of stones in the northern row and the red arrow a stone in the southern row. This row is composed entirely of small unimpressive stones and is a powerful reminder that this type of monument is often far from visually spectacular.

Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 9th Mar 2013. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 5 Access 3
Butterdon Hill Row submitted by SandyG on 27th Sep 2014. In places along the length of the row the alignment is formed by series of small stones placed very close together. This is a common feature of the Dartmoor rows although their tiny size means that this characteristic is often overlooked.

The Longstone (Piles Hill) submitted by SandyG on 27th Sep 2014. The Longstone and friend. The stone on the right is a later boundary marker. There is a history of legal disputes concerning this boundary and the new stone will have been erected to resolve one of these. A remarkable juxtaposition of stones with many stories to tell.

Butterdon Stone Circle submitted by SandyG on 27th Sep 2014. Cairn at the southern end of the row. The large recumbent slabs surround the cairn and probably represent either a once impressive kerb or stone circle.

Drizzlecombe menhir 1 submitted by SandyG on 28th Sep 2014. The stone row is overlooked by the Giant's Hill enclosed prehistoric settlement. It is this type of survival that makes Dartmoor such a special place. Plenty to ponder and inspire.
