Nether Largie Standing Stones

11 Feb 2025 19
The standing stones of Nether Largie are aligned approximately north-east-south-west, about 250 m south-east of the stone circles of Temple Wood. They form an X. They may have once formed an avenue - todayt hey consist mainly of four groups. At the ends of the stone rows there is a pair of stones, with groups of four and five stones (up to 2.85m in height) in between. A single standing stone is located 100 m north-west of the row. The stones may have been erected about 3200 years ago. Three of them carry cupmarks. Such cup and ring carvings are thought to date back to a period 1,500 years earlier still. Cup marks

Merrivale Prehistoric Settlement

27 Nov 2024 1 39
This is a group of prehistoric monuments at Merrivale, where a Bronze Age settlement site and an earlier, Neolithic ritual complex lie side by side in the National Park Dartmoor. The monuments from the late Neolithic (3000–2300 BC) here comprise two double stone rows, a single row, a small cromlech (stone circle), two menhirs (standing stones) nearby, and a number of cairns, associated with burials. The most prominent features are the two double stone rows running east to west. Each consists of more than 150 stones. The northern double row is 182 metres long, the second row runs roughly parallel with the first but is stretching 263 metres across the moor. It has terminal stones blocking each end. Near the middle of this row, a ring of stones marks the kerb of a small cairn. To the west of these rows is a circle of 11 low-lying stones of local granite, about 18 metres in diameter. There is a 3 metres high menhir nearby.
