Double Stone row - Remains of pinion arm

Double Stone Row lies among Dartmoor's open moorland, where two parallel lines of standing stones stretch across the slope. These Bronze Age monuments mark a ritual or ceremonial route, their original purpose still debated by archaeologists. Walking between them, you feel the weight of three thousand years pressing gently against the windswept granite.

The site's unusual name refers to a later, puzzling discovery: an old pinion arm from some forgotten mechanism, found among the stones. Whether from a mining operation, water mill, or long-abandoned machinery, it remains an enigma—a fragment of industrial heritage embedded in prehistoric ground, telling a story no one quite knows how to read.
