Comments 
In their Fifth Report, the Dartmoor Exploration Committee considered there to be a row to the SSW of a ruined cairn.
In 1983. this was found, by TAPG and Rosemary Robinson (pers comm, see Fleming 1983) to be an extension of White ridge stone row. SX 6541 8165 White Ridge. 
In October 2013, the Dartmoor Preservation Association began work to reveal the stones hidden under gorse and long grass.
