Hart Tor North circle submitted by TheCaptain on 17th Jun 2004. Hart Tor North Stone Circle, Dartmoor, Devon SX577717
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.

Situated on the flattish saddle of land between Sharpitor and Leedon Tor can be found the remains of a much ruined double stone row and cairn at the upper, western, end of the row.
View here of the cairn looking down the row. Not a great deal to see with the grass and ferns growing, is there !

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.

Spurrells Cross Cairn Circle submitted by thecaptain on 14th Jul 2004. Spurrells Cross Cairn Circle, Dartmoor, Devon SX658598
To the southwest of the cairn at the head of the stone row is a much bigger and better preserved cairn. I found about 4 stones which seemed to make a line radiating away from this cairn in a northeasterly direction. Is it possible that this was once part of a row extending downhill from this cairn ?

Glasscombe Ball North submitted by thecaptain on 14th Jul 2004. Glasscombe Ball stone row, Dartmoor, Devon SX657604
The remains of this row would have started at a cairn on top of the ridge and progressed in a south-easterly direction away from it. With all the stones flattened to the ground, the layout of the original row is not easy to determine, but would have been at least 80 metres in length.

Glasscombe Corner Stone Row submitted by thecaptain on 16th Jul 2004. Glasscombe Corner stone row, Dartmoor, Devon SX661608
Just above Glasscombe Corner can be found the remains of this fine stone row. Unusually, it has its cairn at the lower end, and marches off up the hill for about 150 metres in a south westerly direction.
View here of the cairn and looking up the row. The cairn is fairly small and insignificant, although the remains of what was once possibly a ring of slabs can be seen.

Harford S. submitted by thecaptain on 22nd Jul 2004. Harford Moor South, Dartmoor, Devon SX652599
On Harford Moor, near to the upper reaches of Butter Brook, are the remains of a couple of stone alignments, which are very close together.
The southern of the two is a short double row, which extends in a northeasterly direction away from a small cairn. There are a several pairs of very closely set stones remaining, including what is probably the end pair, which are slightly larger than the others, about 25m distant from the cairn.

On Harford Moor, near the upper reaches of Butter Brook, are the remains of a couple of stone alignments, which are very close together. The easiest to find is a short double row, which extends in a northeasterly direction away from a small cairn.
Just to the north of this is a single row of stones, which crosses beyond the end of the double row.
This is a view looking to the east, with the remains of the double row seen to the right of ...

Harford Moor N submitted by thecaptain on 22nd Jul 2004. Harford Moor North, Dartmoor, Devon SX652599
At the upper reaches of Butterbrook are a double and a single row of stones, on a similar alignment. The northern single row crosses beyond the end of the double row. The stones are smaller than those of the double row, some hardly showing above the ground, and not easy to see in all the loose natural stone of the area. There is no obvious western end to the row, and the furthest stones here are more or less adjacent to the cairn of the double row...
