A double stone alignment and three cairns south-west of Black Tor
Devon
This scheduled monument comprises a double stone alignment and three cairns, likely dating to the Bronze Age. The alignment and cairns sit on the moorland south-west of Black Tor, part of the complex ritual and funerary landscape that characterises upland Dartmoor. Such alignments often mark pathways, boundaries, or sites of ceremonial importance in prehistoric communities.
Today the site remains in open moorland, relatively undisturbed. Visitors will find scattered stones and earthworks that reward patient observation. The setting offers a tangible sense of how Bronze Age peoples shaped and marked the moor, and how those marks persist in the landscape millennia later.
