Notes
HER: A group of four edge set stones standing up to 1 metre high, situated to the southeast of the cairn, represent the remains of a stone alignment.Possible extension of the White Ridge Stone Row. "Standing stones, possibly a stone row. Forty-six feet S. of the cairn (SX 68 SE 23) are two standing stones, two and a half feet high, their broad planes facing the monument. These, and two others in line, suggest the remains of a stone row, destroyed for materials for an ancient hedge. If a row, it does not point to the centre of the cairn."
Gerrard: Following vegetation clearance by the Dartmoor Preservation Association it was found that this line of stones forms part of the White Ridge stone row and is not a row in its own right.
Radcliffe: 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.
