Another Dartmoor oddity here! Yellowmead consists of 4, not quite concentric, circles and a short row. The tallest stones lie just South of East with the row slightly West of South.
The stones of the innermost circle form a near continuous wall.

This Neolithic settlement is contemporary with Maes Howe, Stennes and Brodgar and may well have been home to the people who built the monuments.
One of the houses is of a type I've not come across before in that it is more or less symmetrical about the entrance, sort of a semi-detached or duplex. However, the symmetry is not exact as one of the dwellings is bigger than the other.

Depending on which source you believe, this is either the only, or one of only two, rockcut chamber tombs in Britain.
It may not be in the middle of nowhere but you can definitely see the middle of nowhere from here.
