Cantrell Stone Row

Visited 30 August 2010.

This was our first stop on a hot August Bank Holiday, walking up from Ivybridge railway station. I’d failed to find the row on my previous visit to Western Beacon, having been looking in the wrong place in truth.

It turns out to be heavily obscured by bracken, the diminuitive stones barely tall enough to make their presence known. The terminal cairn is a badly ruined thing. Probably one that would reward a winter visit rather than one in the height of the growing season, but worth a stop on the way up to the cairns on Western Beacon, which is where we headed next.
