standing stone. merrivale. dartmoor.

standing stone. merrivale. dartmoor. this standing stone lies just south of the stone circle by about 30m and whose stones are no more than 40-60cm high and around 18m in diameter. this stone stands about 3m high on a south sloping site. around noon the shadow of the stone points towards the stone circle and beyond to the ring cairn that lies at the western end of the southern stone row. these all form part of a major ceremonial complex that relates it the the sun and stars and to the tors that sit on its horizon.
