Star markers or moon phase guide ...? The reason for these stone rows is unknown here..this one ends with a 'blocker' triangular stone

Maybe it was a kind of "landing" path ;) ... I have been looking at the map and not far away some stone circles can be seen !!! They have different sizes, do you know something about them??

Un abrazo, Crystal.

hello dear Cris

Yes the small stone circles are remains of bronze age settlements

but also this area was used as a meeting place much later in the 1600's when local farmers would leave their food here in exchange for money from the people of Tavistock. They did this because the town was suffering from an outbrake of the plague and it prevented further contamination...

Hey LM - good try... have a look at this wonderful shot by a chap called Barrie Tumbridge. I aspire to create shots like that - and your's made me think that it would be a good starting point.
