East Moor stone row
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Stone Row / Alignment
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 25th May 2010
East Moor stone row submitted by TheCaptain on 25th May 2010. I went for a long walk on East Moor (Bodmin Moor) on Sunday 23 May, with the intention of visiting and photographing several of the ancient sites on the moor, with the East Moor stone row perhaps the No 1 target.
I also took my new GPS with me - more accurate and user friendly than my old one, so I took this chance to test it out. Here is a plot of my meanderings, many of the sites showing well as I wander about them taking pictures.

Hoaroak 1

Site Type: Multiple Stone Rows / Avenue
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 30th May 2010
Hoaroak 1 submitted by TheCaptain on 30th May 2010. This is a nice little setting of stones, mostly on open grassland, making it easy to see and find!
Most of the stones are less than 18 inches long, and fallen, or else just stubs of stone still fast in the ground. Only one stone really stands proudly near the centre of the setting.
