Leeden Tor submitted by Brian Byng on 7th Feb 2002. Leeden Tor - Cairn at upper end SX 5653 7147.

Has a reeve cutting across it and the row has another reeve cutting across.
Reeve - local word for a prehitoric field boundary maade from roughly
assembled granite blocks now sometimes only traces exist as here. Reeve

Cut Hill Stone Row submitted by Andy B on 10th Apr 2010. Granite Stone Row
Here is the roof of Dartmoor, from the top you can see right all across Dartmoor. In the picture is a piece of granite probably Megalithic in age and is in a series of stones running along the top of this hill. This row is unique within Dartmoor as it the only one with equal spacing within the row and above 600m, 100m above any other row in Dartmoor. The peat has washed away from around the stone but not from underneath, meaning the granite sticks out above the ground.

Cantrell submitted by Brian Byng on 7th Feb 2002. Cantrell.
This double stone row @ SX 6570 5717 has a cairn at the upper end
which is on the skyline when viewed from the lower end of the row. The ruined cairn is 8m
diameter & has a single slab at the centre in a hollow. Perhaps the remains of a burial kist. The row is 48m long with an azimuth of 45 degrees.
Strangely this row is aligned diagonally across the slope of the hill. It does not follow the natural contour of the downhill slope. The horizon height of the
cairn from the bot...

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.

Visited: Would like to visit
Burford Down Stone Row submitted by Tom_Bullock on 9th Jul 2002. The Burford Down stone row, one of the finest in
Dartmoor, shows evidence of recent damage by whatever farmer is running
huge tractors across the fields. S(he) has been driving right through
the rows (perpendicular to them) along several tracks. I saw evidence of
at least 3 stones that had been dislodged and pushed aside by the wheels
of the tractor. I don't know if there is a procedure for reporting such
damage, or even if the farmer is liable for such damage. I have never, in my 12 year...

A fairly old view from Brian Byng looking up the hill along this triple stone row.
This is how I remember the place many years ago - all very overgrown. I must go back sometime to see if its any clearer now.

Burderop Down Disc Barrow submitted by HarryTwenty on 4th Jan 2019. Looking NE at the barrow across the ditch. The trees on the right are growing along the top of the bank. The shadow of the nearest one falls down into the ditch and up the other side onto the barrow showing you the slope.

Log Text: Eventually finding my way back west and up the hill through the recently diverted and fenced pathways, I pass by the large circular ring barrow, now getting a bit overgrown from the other pictures I have seen. Up to the top of the hill and a good view over the site is had.

Log Text: Not the nicest of walks along the old Ridgeway which is now a dusty/muddy/rutted gravel farm track, with several bits fenced and rerouted, I eventually get to the first of two barrows marked. On the north of the track is a large overgrown mound, which is well dug by badgers. A bit further east and to the south of the track where the other barrow is marked, there is nothing to see other than a difference in the growth of the yellow flowering rapeseed.

Log Text: Around Barbury Castle are several other circular features and pits, some of which may be the remains of ancient barrows alond with some relatively modern flint pits. Following the Ridgeway west, there is a clear disc barrow on the slopes down from the castle, and some round barrows in the saddle below the hills.

Log Text: Easter visit to Barbury Castle and a walk on bits of The Ridgeway. This is a lovely well defined hillfort with full double ramparts and good views all around. Several other circular features and pits which may be the remains of ancient barrows and relatively modern flint pits. Interesting to see the views north from the ramparts, the old Wroughton airfield now covered with a solar farm.
