Notes
This HER record has confused Black Tor, South Brent with Black Tor near Hart Tor. The description is of the Hart Tor stone rows. See p.190 of Third Edition of Rowe, the narrative is about the Devonport Leat and the Crazywell pool before moving on to the rows at Black Tor i.e. the Hart Tor rows.HER: A stone row was alleged at Black Tor (1882) but there was no trace of the monument during field investigation (1950).
4th barrow Report: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).
