Log Text: This is not an easy stone row to get to. Whichever way you approach it from involves walking through boggy terrain and dodging around lochans. Access from the south is relatively straightforward with the advantage that the row is visible from the start. Car parking is available at NF 83520 65827 and while you are here a visit to the nearby Barpa Langass chambered cairn is a must. From the car park carefully cross the road and walk along the verge to NF 82832 65399. From here head north avoiding the lochans. A couple of streams will need to be jumped. I would recommend wellingtons for this one. I can not overstate just how wet the ground conditions are. Assume that progress will be slow and do not set out late in the day. A decent map is essential.
Almsworthy
Date Added: 3rd Feb 2020
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Somerset)
Visited: Yes on 11th Apr 2019. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 4
Almsworthy submitted by thecaptain on 24th Nov 2006. Almsworthy Common is stated by various sources to be the remains of two concentric ovals, or up to six lines of stones, but I felt it was fairly random.
Its quite fun wandering round trying to figure out what patterns the stones are making. I can see six in this picture, with a few more hidden from view by the heather.

Log Text: Visited without doing research first. I was looking for two stones. The upright stone is easy to spot but the recumbent one is a bit more difficult. I did find a recumbent stone that looked about right, but it was not the right one. I suppose it is possible that there were once more standing stones at this spot, but the proximity of the cliff means that at least some of the large slabs are probably natural.

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.

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.
