STANLAKE STONE ROW

The stone row at Stanlake on Dartmoor lies just inside the historic fields associated with Stanlake Farm and although now partly buried beneath a substantial field boundary it still forms an obvious visual landmark.  The row leads from NGR SX57217155 to SX57007137, measures 294m long and includes at least 57 visible stones.  Its north eastern end is denoted by a substantial blocking stone and its lower south western end by three funerary cairns.  The row lies in an area containing abundant field evidence relating to prehistoric activity, lying as it does between two major settlements and within 460m of three other rows.

The stone row was surveyed during 1996 as part of the Meavy Valley Project and the results published the following year. The full report on this stone row can be viewed here.
