Cosdon Hill Multiple Stone Rows submitted by TheCaptain on 10th Jun 2004. Cosdon Hill Multiple Stone Rows, Dartmoor, Devon SX643917
This is a view looking downhill from the cairn. As usual, the larger stones are near the cairn, and they generally get smaller the further away from the cairn they are, with a few notable exceptions. Each of the rows has a large slab placed across the rows at its end by the cairn.

Cosdon Hill Cairn Circle submitted by TheCaptain on 10th Jun 2004. Cosdon Hill Cairn Circle, Dartmoor, Devon SX643916
On a flatter shelf of land on the eastern side of Cosdon Hill are the splendid remains of a cairn and treble stone row.
The remains of the cairn at the uphill end of the rows is approx 8 metres in diameter, and has been substantially messed about with. Despite this, there are the clear remains of a double cist in the centre of the cairn, the downhill one of which still has its capstone largely in place. Several stones also remain in place...

White Moor Down submitted by TheCaptain on 12th Jun 2004. White Moor Down Stone Circle, Dartmoor, Devon SX634896
This is a truly lovely stone circle, situated on a flat saddle of land between Little Hound Tor and Hound Tor, miles away from any signs of modern life in the middle of the desolate moor, and there are views for miles around in almost all directions from the site. There are 18 remaining stones of a probable nineteen arranged fairly evenly, in a circle of diameter 20 metres. The stones are arranged flat side inwards, and vary in height bet...

Log Text: This is a truly lovely stone circle, situated on a flat saddle of land between Little Hound Tor and Hound Tor, miles away from any signs of modern life in the middle of the desolate moor, and there are views for miles around in almost all directions from the site. There are 18 remaining stones of a probable nineteen arranged fairly evenly, in a circle of diameter 20 metres. The stones are arranged flat side inwards, and vary in height between 2 and 4 feet high. 150 metres southeast of the circle is the Whit Moor Stone, which is more than 5 feet in height, and has been adapted as a parish boundary stone, with its parish marks cut into it. This stone is almost certainly much older than just a boundary stone, and is likely to be associated in some way with the circle. Between this stone and the circle are the remains of a cairn.

The cairn at the top of the northern rows is about 9m in diameter, and is surrounded by a lovely ring of 15 stone slabs. It is possible that there is another ring of stones still present within the cairn.
This is the view to the northwest towards Black Tor.

Hart Tor north rows submitted by TheCaptain on 17th Jun 2004. Hart Tor North Stone Rows, Dartmoor, Devon SX577717
The northern of the Hart Tor rows is a double row avenue which has its lower end at the river Meavy and progresses up the hillside in an easterly direction to a nice cairn at the upper end, 125 metres distant.
This is a view looking up at the two cairns from near the upper end of the avenue.

Sharpitor W submitted by thecaptain on 18th Jun 2004. Sharpitor West Stone Row, Dartmoor, Devon SX551707
On the western slopes of Sharpitor are the remains of a nice stone row. The row starts near a cairn at the uphill end, and proceeds for 130 metres southwest down the slope to a large terminal stone, about 4 feet high. Just before this lower terminal stone, a spring and its small stream has broken through the row, and taken out some of the stones.
This is a view of the bottom end.

View here of the cairn looking down the row. Not a great deal to see with the grass and ferns growing, is there !

Log Text: The remains of Corringdon Ball chambered tomb are marked on the map as Long Barrow, and it is situated on the saddle of land between Corringdon Ball and Brent Fore Hill, not far from the cairn at the head of the Brent Fore row. This was once one of the largest monuments on the moor, but has been badly damaged, with a track cut through its northern part, and most of the southern end destroyed. Several large stones remain at the south end, which would once have formed a very large chamber. These are now nearly all fallen and broken, with just a semblance of any chamber recognisable.

Not much remains to be seen of the cairn and double row which lies to the southwest of Spurrells Cross.
This is the view looking southwards up the row to the cairn on a now very nice and sunny solstice eve.
