STONE CIRCLES in terms of a unit of 25-1 in., an Egyptian or Royal Persian cubit ;' but space will not allow of its adequate discussion here. Fernacre, like other monuments on these moors, has escaped notice, and the only published plan seems to be that of Lukis and Borlase, who include it in their work on Prehistoric Monuments. 1 They admit however that bad weather greatly interfered with their survey, and it is therefore not surprising that it has been necessary in the accompanying plan to correct and add to theirs in several particulars. A very large number of ruined huts and enclosures and some barrows are to be found on the hills near by, especially under the south and west faces of Row Tor ; if all these dwellings were inhabited at one time they must have accommodated a considerable population of tin- streamers and cattle-owners. Did the people who lived in these huts put up and use the circle ?
