Notes
Hemery, E., 1983, High Dartmoor, 779-780 (Monograph). Hemery notes set stones representing ?stone circle and single ?row south at the end of the Sand Path; more stones southward may be part of same alignment. Possible identification of a retaining-circle. Possible extension of alignment in the form of spaced, fallen stones, to a point beyond a military range-pole. Inconclusive (much interference by turf-cutters) but may be candidate at approximately 1,840 feet above sea level to qualify as the highest placed on Dartmoor.Cunis, E, 2021, Identification of possible circle/row on Whitehorse Hill (Correspondence). (14/04/2021) SX 62208 84938 Possible features recorded on Whitehorse Hill - standing and recumbent stones; Stone Circle and Row? Visited with DNPA archaeologist in April 2021. In a very ruinous condition with vegetation covering the majority of the ?stone row. Ground evidence noted by Eric Hemery (likely 1950s and 1980s to check again before publication).
