The largest stone at the SE end, 2.8m high,  damaged by splitting and may have exceeded 3.0m – now serves as a  gatepost. The NW stone has a prehistoric lynchet built up around it,  height of 2.37m. The row is 117m long. Other stones possibly existed but  have been robbed for use in the field hedges or as gateposts. The only  known stone row in West Cornwall.
