Grim's Grave
Grim's Grave (also called Langcombe Brook cairn 3 - not to be confused with Grimes Graves ) is a well-preserved example of a Bronze Age burial at the end of the Langcombe Valley in South Dartmoor in Cornwall , England . The nine stones made of Dartmoor granite , which appear to form a stone circle , are the curbs of a broken stone mound , which was built over a stone box (locally called Kistvaen) 1.5 × 1.0 m and about 1.0 m deep.
The name Grim goes back to the Anglo-Saxons or Normans . He is a synonym for the Norse god Odin .
