MERRIVALE STONE ROWS.

MERRIVALE-THE LARGEST STONE ROW
On Dartmoor there are over 60 known stone rows. They remain an enigma - no one knows for sure why they were built. At Merrivale  there are three rows, two double and one single. Both the double rows run from east to west but they are not parallel.

The closest town to Merrivale is Tavistock and the nearest village is Princetown.
