Double stone alignment with a terminal stone setting near Great Trowlesworthy Tor
Grid ref: SX 5763 6392
This double stone alignment belongs to Dartmoor's Bronze Age heritage, a time when ritual monuments and ceremonial routes marked the high moorland. The two parallel lines of standing stones converge towards a terminal stone setting, a layout that suggests a processional or ceremonial purpose. Such alignments are found across Dartmoor and remain enigmatic: they may have served as territorial markers, ritual pathways, or focal points for gathering.
The site sits in the open moorland south of Great Trowlesworthy Tor, among rolling granite outcrops and wind-scoured turf. Visiting today you encounter the stones as Bronze Age people left them, still marking the landscape after thousands of years. The setting offers the characteristic Dartmoor experience of isolation and wide views, with the monuments modest in scale but powerful in their presence.
