Full description
Robinson, R., 1986, Possible stone row?, 228 of 476 (Worksheet). SDV215683.
(10/10/1986) SX 643 765 Three upright stones in line running (east-west) on the western slope of Bellever Tor consisting of three set stones (0.3 - 0.5m high) aligned up and down the slope over a length of approx. 15m could possibly represent remains of a stone row.
The identification is very problematic due to the area being rock strewn and bracken and bramble covered; difficult to asses. Unmeasured sketch plan included on worksheet showing possible feature in rellation to the tor and the cist to the west (MDV5884).

(03/11/1993) It is not possible to determine the exact position of the feature described from the NGR given by the Devon SMR record. However, the stoney eastern flank of Bellever Tor possesses several short stone alignments all of which appear to be products of the underlying clitter.
