Notes
Hemery, E., 1983, High Dartmoor, 796-797 When referring to Sandy Road, Hemery records that in crossing the south foot of Kennon between Rewelake Pit and Sandy Ford, it passes below the ruins of a possible stone circle. Spencer (Maps) has marked this as 'Kennon Circle six stones standing' and, running north-eastward from it, 'stone row one hundred yards'. The circle is decribed as 'completely unphotogenic', appears to have had a diameter of approximately sixty feet and now has only one standing stone. Not able to confirm the stone row. Cunis, E, 2020, Possible stone circle and row, Kennon (14/12/2020) Features recorded during site visit with archaeologist from Dartmoor National Park Authority. Photographs of the features included. Possible stone circle and row recorded. In a very ruinous condition with vegetation covering the majority of the stone row. Circle SX 64201 88735, Row SX 64246 88657.. NB. Grid reference for row confirmed by Emma and corrected.References
