Historic England's scheduling record (list entry 1019215) describes a double stone alignment and cairn on a gentle east-facing slope overlooking the valley of the South Teign. The cairn is 4 metres by 2.8 metres and up to 0.4 metres high. The row leads north-east from it, with at least four stones up to 0.09 metres high in the north-west row and only one visible in the south-east row. It lies in the parish of Chagford, about 1.4 km south-east of Thornworthy Tor and 2.6 km west of Lettaford.

Sandy Gerrard has posted a pointer to his Yardworthy page in the stone rows gazetteer (stonerows.wordpress.com), with photographs and a plan, on the Historic England page; I have not linked or used it.
