It is slightly flattened in a northwest to southeast direction, measuring {{convert|46.2|m|ft}} by {{convert|43.3|m|ft}}[4] The circle contains some 68 or 69 stones with a further 3 displaced within, 38 or 39 remain standing upright. They are deeply sunk into the soil with the tallest stone measuring {{convert|1.3|m|ft}} high and the longest fallen stone {{convert|2.1|m|ft}}.[5] Fernacre is a marker for the start of a medieval drove road from Rough Tor to Garrow.[2] ArchaeologyThe ruins of what was called Fernacre farm were first recorded in 1327 AD.[6] Numerous hut circles dot the landscape nearby and it has been suggested that the dating for Fernacre is contemporary with these.[7] No bones or remains were found in these hut circles, only a few flaked flints gave clues to its occupation.[8] The Fernacre settlement covered 164 acres, of which 84 show signs of having been farmed.[2] The dating of the sites is uncertain although it has been suggested to have been constructed either in the Neolithic or Bronze Age.[9] There are signs that the circle had a retaining bank of earth on its southeast.[10] AlignmentsFernacre carries a pivotal location between Rough Tor located due north and Brown Willy located due east.[11] Garrow Tor also lies to the east and Louden Hill to the west-southwest. It is only 100 ft from being in a direct line in an easterly direction between Stannon and Brown Willy Cairns, another small erect stone stands in this line eastwards on the way to Brown Willy which has been suggested to mark the equinox sunrise.[12][13] William Page note that when viewed from the centre of Fernacre circle the sunset on 1 May would align approximately with Louden Hill.[14] Literature
