East Moor stone row
Date Added: 17th Jan 2018
Site Type: Stone Row / Alignment
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 23rd Jun 2017. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 3
East Moor stone row submitted by TheCaptain on 25th May 2010. When visiting East Moor stone row on Sunday 23 May, I found the row easily without resorting to my new GPS.
While part way walking along the row, which I thought would be recorded as a part of my track, an idea came to me. My new toy could be used to record each stone as I found it by making a waypoint.
Now its just a case of figuring out what to do with all the data. Here is a first attempt to show the results by simply reading the data into Google Earth.

Log Text: I had the great fortune of being shown around the row by Roy Goutté and some members of the TimeSeekers Clearance Group, who were responsible for revealing many of the stones. I would like to thank them for their hospitality and sharing their considerable knowledge of the site. It was a pleasure to meet such interesting people.
This row has recently been partially cleared and recorded by the TimeSeekers Clearance Group led by Roy Goutté who found previously unrecorded stones and a possible cist. This work also revealed a visual treat which is certainly worth mentioning. Along the entire length of the row until the western end is reached at a point they call The Terminal, Brown Gelly complete with cairn on top is completely invisible. However, at the Terminal the cairn at the top of Brown Gelly is suddenly revealed though the hill itself remains hidden from view (Goutté, 2016, 3) Another example of a very precise visual relationship between a row and its landscape. The cumulative evidence for these visual links illustrates that the stone rows were carefully placed within the landscape to acknowledge and celebrate them. Goutté notes a second visual link available from The Terminal. At this point he notes that Brown Willy is perfectly framed in the saddle of rising ground” (Goutté, 2016, 2). This is reminiscent of the view available from the lower end of the Yar Tor stone alignment on Dartmoor.
In common with all the longer rows this alignment is far from straight and Goutté has identified a point close to the tinners’ gully where the orientation of the row shifts. This point may have been of particular significance to the row builders or may indicate an extension to the original row.
Limited parking is available at SX 20389 80372. From here follow the path westward to the row.
