Drizzlecombe Stone Rows

Drizzlecombe lies on the southwestern slopes of Hartor Hill, between the Drizzle Combe stream and the River Plym. The site includes three major Bronze Age stone rows, each aligned approximately southwest to northeast. At the southern end of each row stands a tall stone (menhir), while the northern end is marked by a cairn. The tallest menhir, known as the Bone Stone, stands 4.3 metres high and is the largest on Dartmoor. The rows vary in length from 76 to 146 metres and are made up of single or double lines of granite stones. Scattered across the wider landscape are additional prehistoric features such as cairns, including the Giant’s Basin, a broad rubble mound over 22 metres in diameter, hut circles, a cist, and signs of ancient settlement, all set within Dartmoor’s striking southern terrain.
