Ring moor

The row of blocks and the stone circle of ring Moor are prehistoric stone circles in ring bog down in the south of Devon in England . They are located about three miles east of the A386, northeast of the village of Shaugh Prior. They are about 300 meters north of the Brisworthy Stone Circle in the Upper Plym Valley.

description

The stone circle has a diameter of about 12.6 m and consists of eleven stones. The disturbed central cairn is 9.5 m in diameter and 0.4 m high. The Cairn Circle was destroyed at the beginning of the 20th century. There was only one stone left and four stones had fallen. The positions of six other stones were represented by pits. In 1909, the Reverend Sabine Baring-Gould restored the circle in a dubious way and five of the current stones come from elsewhere.

At this circle begins a row of stones almost 350 meters long, with stones up to 1.0 meter high. The row, which runs double in some places, is quite damaged.
