Merrivale, Devon

The complex consists of three stone circles, three rows of stones, a large stone box, some standing stones, a large enclosure with a dolmen and about 20 foundations of round huts, called Plague Market ( Pestmarkt ). This place was so named after the bubonic plague ( bubonic plague ) of 1625, because the farmers sold the inhabitants of Tavistock food here.

About 100 m south is a west-east aligned double stone row - the west on the other side of the river another in the same geographic orientation. The northern stone circle is situated almost in the center of this stone row. It is about 3.5 m in diameter and is composed of seven blocks. The double row is about 180 m long and ends in the east with a 1.2 m high rock. The other row ends on the east by a large triangular stone, and in the west with the last couplet. To the south is a large deck fitted with a stone box, the missing middle part was cut out to make a goal post.

From here you get large flat slabs of granite to a 1.8 m high menhir in the southwest and southern stone circle. He has 20 m in diameter and is composed of 11 not more than 0.6 m high stones. On the circle are more menhirs. One is 3.2 m and the other 2.1 m high. The third circle consists of nine stones which are barely visible in the grasslands. A kind of grave chamber, called the " Apple crusher", located in an enclosure near the hut circles. It's not been studied and is named after the locally popular apple mills for the famous Dartmoor apples.
