Drizzle Combe Stone Rows, Sheepstor, Dartmoor National Park

In his superb 'The Field Archaeoogy of Dartmoor', Phil Newman writes:

'The majority of menhirs are associated with stone rows, forming the terminals at one end of the row. These may have existed before the rows were added or were erected as a deliberate element of the row. The three stone rows at Drizzlecombe each have a menhir incorporated in this way, including the tallest on Dartmoor, standing to more tham 3m high.'
