Difficult to find although a vague line of low rocks does travel up towards Sharpitor at this point. Updated coordinates and took picture.

Black Tor (Stenlake) Stone Row

Notes: This is a very unusual stone row in that it seems to be involved with a wall. Many of the stones are likely buried or have been utilised to construct the wall itself. We learn from the Prehistoric Dartmoor Walks website, quoting Lethbridge, that: “A Bronze Age Stone Row lies just inside, and is partly buried by, a substantial field boundary. The row extends from SX57217155 to SX57007137, some 294m long and includes at least 57 visible stones.
