For completeness, as well as the two stones in the previous two pictures, there is also a rough alignment of small stones slightly further southeast on the edge of the cairn. To be honest these could be anything or nothing.
The two uprights I found, looking towards Bolventor. If there are another three stones in this alignment, I couldn’t see them.
The two uprights of what I took to be the end of the row practically on the cairn.
Tolborough Tor Stone Row – 28.3.2004 – Very small stone row on top of Tolborough Tor. The final stone (that in the foreground) is now broken. Even on the original pic it is barely possible to see it, so the scanned version is almost impossible. Barrow in background.

Cheryl Straffon’s guide ‘The Earth Mysteries Guide to Bodmin Moor and North Cornwall (including Tintagel)’ (Meyn Mamvro – 1993, amended 2000) says “On the top of the Tor is a large cairn, to the South East of which is an unusual miniature row of five small stones – SX17567786”. Well, yes, but I should add that it is VERY small and overgrown and that is hardly decipherable. It is also very close to cairn (the final, furthest stone is barely 8m from the cairn) so don’t go wandering off looking for it many metres away. This final stone is also now broken.
