Shovel Down row 2
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Multiple Stone Rows / Avenue
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 27th Oct 2004
Shovel Down row 2 submitted by thecaptain on 27th Oct 2004. Shovel Down row 2 is of the typical Dartmoor style of double row, with paired stones placed about one and a half metres apart, the pairs of stones generally increasing in height towards a cairn at the upper end.
This view is looking up the remains of the upper end, which is fairly complete, towards the two giant fallen stones and the forfold circle.

Shovel Down row 1 submitted by thecaptain on 14th Oct 2004. Shovel Down row 1.
At the northern end of this ruinous single stone row can be seen a few stones larger than the majority of theose remaining. Most of the remaining stones are very small and difficult to spot under the grass
This view is looking southwards along the general direction of the row.

Shovel Down Fourfold Circle
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 27th Oct 2004
Shovel Down Fourfold circle submitted by thecaptain on 27th Oct 2004. The cairn at the upper end Shovel Down row 2 avenue is a nice little monument, known as the Fourfold Circle. Obviously once a mound of diameter about 9 metres, as with most of the Shovel Down sites, most of the stones have been removed for wallbuilding. What is left are four concentric rings of stone slabs surrounding a central pit. The stones are set on edge, with their flat faces facing in towards the centre of the cairn.
Viewed here lookingsouthwest with row 4 going up the hill behind

Site Type: Round Barrow(s)
Country: England (Gloucestershire)
Visited: Yes on 30th May 2020. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 2 Access 4
Shortwood Hill barrow submitted by TheCaptain on 30th May 2020. A long walk during the supposed lockdown (end May 2020) took me through this field and over the barrow for the first time in many years. Despite the field being cleared and shorn of vegetation, the barrow was more disappointing to see than I remembered.

Sherberton Row
Date Added: 2nd Oct 2020

Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 11th Apr 2019. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 3 Access 3
Sherberton Row submitted by TheCaptain on 14th Apr 2019. I found very little remains of this stone row, to the north of the Sherberton stone circle. A few little stumps of stone could be found, but not enough to determine either end, or even whether it is a single or double row. I counted 11 stones.
Viewed here looking north along the best part of about 5 stones in line.

Visited: Yes on 27th Jul 2017
Sheldon (Aberdeenshire) submitted by TheCaptain on 27th Jul 2017. Despite having seen nice pictures of this stone circle, it was a big let down. To get to it meant a longish walk through firstly a manure dump, and after that a field full of growing root vegetables, meaning a wet detour along the tractor tramlines to get to the top of the hill.

Shaugh Moor row submitted by thecaptain on 25th Aug 2008. It seems like most of the stones are still here, but they are not very big, and many of them are quite difficult to see under the grass and in the undergrowth.

Sharpitor W

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.
