The remains of a burial cist that lies next to the stone rows. The large covering slab has been cut - a large slice taken out to be used for gateposts or a lintel at some time in the past - revealing the stone-lined cist. The stone rows can just be made out behind and a scattering of stones beyond from a medieval settlement. The sky is grey and cloudy but there’s an orange glow on the right on the horizon. A tor - Little Mis Tor - on the left touches the cloud line.

There was a beautiful sunrise somewhere on Friday, but sadly I didn’t get to see it on my early morning potter around Merrivale - just its faint glow through the thick cloud sitting over Dartmoor.
A fascinating place with its Bronze Age complex of stone rows, stone circles, menhir and burial cairns, alongside remains of a medieval settlement, tin-mining activities, and more modern quarrying.
