Artist's Comments

On a plateau, surrounded by a number a rocky Tors lies a quite remarkable complex prehistoric site.

Merrivale.

Amongst the numerous hut circles, cairns and cists can be found a stone circle, a solitary menhir, and two spectacular double stone rows.

Ive been a bit obsessional with the OS map and old dartmoor history books lately. Looking up the real historic side to it all, factual and old folklore tales.

I met an interesting chap at merrivale who informed me of the ancient soltice timed as the winter/summer time changes where the sun sets right in the middle of the two rows and cast strange shadows over the whole site. Unfortunately I missed it by a few days, oh well.

thanks, Im glad you approve. Its a real difficult shot to get right, and Im not 100% happy with mine but the clouds on the horizon made up for that.

Thanks for all the favs too.
