Merrivale Menhir I OSGR SX 5537 7457

Comments
"Three small stones, equally spaced, immediately south of the menhir."
Butler says that 5 stones were reported in 1895, but there is no such mention in TDA.
No further stoneholes were found.
There are stones, possibly in a double alignment, to the west of the stone.
