 Looking south along Fernworthy North stone row, the stones are so small they barely poke above the level of the late summer grass. Fernworthy stone circle lies a short distance beyond the gap in the trees. |
 The northern end of the row is marked by this small blocking stone and a mound or cairn. |

About 100 metres to
the north of Fernworthy Circle through a gap
in the trees is a double row of tiny stones that terminate with a low blocking
stone and damaged cairn.
It's difficult to put an accurate figure to the number of stones, there are about
50 visible, either fallen or standing but gaps toward the northern end may indicate
that more once stood here - they may even be buried beneath the turf. The row
measures around 100 metres in length but only a metre in width with a northnortheast
- southsouthwest axis that would pass through the stone
circle if it were extended. Like the two rows to the south it stops short
of the circle, is this an indicator that the rows were built after the circle?
