THE MOORLAND PLYM. 
307 
This menhir forms the commencement of a line 488 feet in 
length, the stones constituting which are about 1 ft. 6 in. above 
ground on the average, and are in some places arranged singly, at 
others in pairs so as to form an incomplete parallellithon. 
An examination shows that this has at no time been an avenue 
throughout its entire length, but that the work of doubling the 
row of stones was never completed. It is curious that the other 
two lines associated with this are single throughout their entire 
lengths. 
This row is terminated by a small barrow of about eighteen 
feet diameter, which apparently covers a kistvaen. A stone, 
probably the cover of this kistvaen, lies a few feet away from the 
barrow to the south. If there was ever a kistvaen here it has 
fallen in, and the earth, stones, and heather have hidden it. 
One hundred and nineteen feet to the south-east of this barrow 
is the large cairn known as Giant's Basin, probably on account of 
the concavity of its upper surface. This cairn is thirty-four feet 
in diameter at the top, and eighty-four at the base. Between it 
and the barrow is a group of stones, consisting of a large flat slab 
held in an inclined position by resting on smaller blocks. 
To the north-west of the barrow, and 132 feet from it, lies 
another menhir, 9 ft. 5 in. long by 2 ft. 9 in. wide. This forms 
the end of a row of stones, single throughout with the exception 
of the pair next the menhir. This row is 491 feet long, and 
contains seventy-six stones ; it terminates at the east in a barrow 
or tumulus twenty-nine feet wide at base, and surrounded by a 
stone circle of which nine members can still be traced. These, as 
are those around the other two barrows, are flat slabs inclined 
away from the mound, and supported in that position by smaller 
stones. (See figure 6a.) 
About equidistant on either side of this last barrow are two 
others of similar size, the northern of which has no stone row 
attached, but is surrounded by a circle, of which thirteen members 
can still be traced. 
The southern barrow, which is sixty-eight feet from the central, 
is surrounded by a circle, of which twelve stones still remain ; 
and in addition to this a row, now incomplete, extends towards 
the barrow by Giant's Basin, and terminates, after continuing over 
276 feet, in a fallen menhir 17 ft. 10 in. long, 4 feet wide at its 
longer end, and 2 ft. 7 in. at its smaller, and about 1 ft. 2 in.
