Colour photograph of the 2.3m tall menhir, at a slight lean, at the end of a prehistoric stone row at Drizzlecombe on Dartmoor. It was a very sunny day with a beautiful blue sky, though the photo shows much cloud to the north-east. The moors are a beautiful patchwork of grass and other short plants in hues of yellow, mustard and various greens, and with clumps of pinky-purple plants to the lower right. The moors in the distance are darker, gently curved and torless. It looks as though there is another menhir in the distance on the left.

The large menhir M4 at Drizzlecombe on Dartmoor, viewed from the east. The 4.2m tall Bone Stone menhir is at the end of a stone row with a ruined kerbed cairn at the other end (not seen in this photo). The Giant's Basin cairn is nearby (not seen). Another standing stone can be seen in the middle distance on the left. The moors lead up to a low brow and over the near horizon, in the distance, the edge of a rock-edged tor can be seen. The sky is pale blue with a profusion of large white fluffy clouds.

The sky is grey.

I've been away #hiking, #wildcamping, and taking photos of ancient monuments. Here's a #BronzeAge #kistvæn, #kist or #cist from the evocatively named #Drizzlecombe on #Dartmoor for #TombTuesday. There's a lot of them on the moor, but many marked on the OS map appear to have either sunk beneath the peat, been hidden by grass and bracken, or otherwise vanished.
