A further 7 stones are in close proximity but may not be associated. There is no trace of a cist or cairn." "It is largely obscured by long tussocky grass and the absence of a discernible cairn or cist makes it an unusual site by Dartmoor standards".

Black Tor (Avon) 2 Stone Row

NMR record: SX 66 SE 73
HER record: MDV5752
The Stone Rows of GB: Black Tor Avon Stone Row
PMD: Black Tor Avon Stone Row
Alternate name: Black Tor (Avon) Stone Row
ShortName: SR:BlackTor2
Butler map: 57.25
Barrow Report: 4
Notes: "A stone row is alleged at this location by Worth (1932-33) but has not been located since, either by Worth, or during field investigation."

"In August 1932 author was present at a field meeting led by R.H. Worth who pointed out a single stone row, more or less east to west with a low barrow at each end, he had discovered near the summit of Black Tor in the Avon Valley.
Worth later contacted Quinnell to say he had been unable to locate it on a second visit. Quinnell also failed to locate it again, despite searching on at least six occasions 'had it not been that I and some 20 persons saw it in 1932 I would doubt its existence'."

Another reported stone row was reported by R.N. Worth in 1882 (see barrow Report 4)

"Worth, R. N., 1882, 4th Report of the Barrow Committee, 157 (Article in Serial). STONE ROW, BLACK TOR.
Nearly a furlong from the Tor in the glen below, on the eastern bank of the stream, are a pair of avenues which are only 40 feet apart and run parallel to each other east and west. They are formed of stones 2.5 feet high and each is terminated at the eastern end by a circle 36 feet in diameter consisting, of 15 stones enclosing a cairn. Between the northern avenue and the stream is a cairn while another, very imperfect, will be observed at end of southern avenue (citing Row's Perambulation, Second Edition, pgs 205-6)."

Butler Vol 5: p.160 & Fig.102
Grinsell: BRE 2
Turner: A54
Notes: "This large cairn (24m diameter, 1.7m height) composed of loose granite boulders. It is unusual among summit cairns in having a well defined outer bank about 1m wide and 0.5m high. This is partly turf covered but where eroded can be seen to be built of loose stone like the central cairn which touches it. It shows best on the north and east sides, while on the south west side it tends to merge into the body of the cairn."

Barrow Report: 65 66
Notes: "A cist lies on the right bank of the Avon, a short distance above Brent Moor House, about 175 feet below the small stream which flows south of Riders Rings ... The cist, which consists of two end stones and one side stone, stands in a small cairn." Doubtful. (grinsell) "supposed cairn of large stones, enclosing possible cist placed se-nw. The whole area is covered with clitter, and it is possible that the site may be natural. In summer it is under dense bracken. No measurements given." Butler Vol. 4. Map 57.9 (not actually covered in Butler but relevant map). " A Medieval or later tinner's cache situated opposite Woolholes on the west bank of the River Avon. Considered under the Monument Protection Programme by previous Monument Protection Programme Advisor who did not recommend it for scheduling."

NMR 444856 is thus a duplicate of 441549. HER 48850 is thus a duplicate of of HER.
