Upper Erme prehistoric stone row The longest prehistoric stone row in the world is of the single type and measures 3,386m long, including around 922 mainly medium and small-sized stones together with some large orthostats. The row, which is sinuous in character is orientated north to south.  There are cairns at the both ends, the one at the south is kerbed and the upper one at the north is surprisingly small and nondescript. <span class="nowrap"><a title="https://stonerows.wordpress.com/gazetteer/region/dartmoor/upper-erme/" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" href="https://stonerows.wordpress.com/gazetteer/region/dartmoor/upper-erme/">Link</a><img style="margin-left:2px;" alt="External link" title="External link - shift click to open in new window" src="https://s1.geograph.org.uk/img/external.png" width="10" height="10"/></span>
