Also known as the Hingston Hill Stone Row as the row and its associated cairn circle actually resides on Hingston Hill near Down Tor. This is a spectacular site with the stone row containing approximately 150 stones with a large terminal stone standing 9 feet tall. At the south-western end there is a 39 foot diameter cairn with a central kistvaen. There is a separate cairn situated to the north-west of the stone row. The site was restored in 1894 by the Reverend Sabine Baring-Gould and Robert Burnard with fallen stones re-erected in their original sockets. It was Baring-Gould along with his friend Robert Burnard who organised the first scientific archaeological excavations of Grimspound during 1893 which in turn resulted in the formation of the Committee of the Devonshire Association for the exploration of Dartmoor. It was this committee which organised many of the early archaeological digs and restorations of prehistoric settlements on Dartmoor.
