The Plague Market At Merrivale (Multiple Stone Rows / Avenue) by A R Cane As well as the leat that runs parallel and between the two sets of stone rows, on this particular damp and rain-filled evening there were streams running along the centres of each avenue. This may be to do with centuries of people trudging up and down and creating a depression, but given our ancestors relationship with water could this have been a reason for building this monument originally? A sacred stream or Bronze Age water feature?

Brilliant photograph(s) and the idea of a water feature would seem perfectly feasible. I sometimes think that low lying features up where I live must have included the water. drewbhoy Posted by drewbhoy
