Two distinctive stones, next to a white quartz stone (see other picture). The stone on the left has a quartz band, the other is almost black in colour. The black stone is next to a minor stream(not big enough to be shown on the OS 1:25000) that the row crosses between Stall Moor cairn and The Dancers stone circle.

Three attractive stones in a row – white quartz in the foreground, the next one has a quartz band and the third is almost black. Stall Moor cairn can be seen on the near skyline.

This stone was notable for being quite a lot bigger than its neighbours, as well as weirdly eroded. Looking south towards The Dancers.

Stall Moor Stone Row

I’ve joined the row less than a quarter of the way along its length from its southern terminus – it continues much further north, all the way up to Green Hill, making it the longest row on Dartmoor by some way. The stones of the row are miniscule to say the least, but there are a few notable individuals, such as a weirdly eroded one that stands more than twice as high as its neighbours, and a lovely row of three differently marked quartz stones next to a small brook that the row crosses. The stones get gradually bigger as they head south, where they disappear over the brow of the hill. By this point I am buzzing with anticipation as I have passed the furthest point out of my walk and am nearly at my main objective, tantalisingly close just over the ridge.
