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.

Dartmoor is an moorland area in southern Devon. The area has been protected by National Park status since 1951. Dartmoor National Park covers 954 km².

The Fernworthy Circle (aka Froggymead), is located in a clearing in Fernworthy Forest in Dartmoor. The 27 stones made of grey granite form a circle with a diameter of 19.2 m. The stones vary in height. In the south, where the tallest are, they are about 1.1 m high. The circle was excavated by the Dartmoor Exploration Committee in 1897 who reported a layer of charcoal within the circle but no other finds. Fragmentary double rows of low stones form avenues that run north and south, with no clear connection to the circle.
