Stone alignment and cairn 800m SSW of Yardworthy
Devon
This scheduled monument consists of a stone alignment and cairn, likely dating to the Bronze Age, when such ritual and burial structures were built across Dartmoor. The alignment is typical of the ceremonial landscapes created during this period, often associated with burial mounds or domestic settlement patterns on the open moor.
Today the site sits on exposed moorland, part of the dense network of prehistoric remains that characterize this part of Dartmoor. The stones and earthworks survive as quiet evidence of ancient activity, rewarding those who explore the moor on foot with a sense of the landscape's deep history.
