The main of the three Merrivale stone rows is 264 metres (865 feet) long (54Kb) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- While the Dartmoor countryside abounds with relics of prehistoric sites, a visit to most of them entails a long walk across rough terrain, and the moorland is a dangerous place to get lost. The Merrivale stone rows, however, are within sight of the B3357 road. Nearby are also a stone circle and a standing stone. At Merrivale there are three rows: two double and a single. Both the doubles run east to west, but they are not parallel. The first one you reach from the road is 596 ft long, containing about 170 stones, but some are very small.
