Dartmoor has one of the most prolific collection of stone-age
artefacts in the world; standing stones, circles, rows and burial
sites.
Upper Erme Stone Row is not only the longest in Dartmoor, but
the longest in the world, at over 3km. It is oriented roughly
north-south, and like all the other stone rows, its exact purpose
is unclear. It is unusual in that the whole row cannot be seen at
one go, and it is not straight. Even at ground level, the lack of
straightness is clear. This, and the relative smallness of the
stones, makes a religious or celestial purpose less likely than for
other stone rows; in fact it looks to all intents like a boundary.
But who knows?
The cache is hidden along the row somewhere.
