Looking W, uphill at the triple stone row on Cosdon Hill, Dartmoor, Devon, England, UK, leading to a ruined kerb cairn with two rectangular burial cists. Only five stones remain of the ruined circle around the cairn. The parallel rows ran for at least 140m (449ft) & each row has a blocking slab at its W end. The taller, heavier N (R) row may have been added to the other two. The complex was damaged in prehistory when stones were taken away for use in a Bronze Age boundary bank (reave), & the site was partly restored in 1897.
