Stone alignment on Conies Down

This stone alignment lies on Conies Down and belongs to the Bronze Age period, when Dartmoor's high moorland saw intensified settlement and land use. Stone alignments like this one likely served ritual, ceremonial or territorial purposes, and are found in clusters across the moor, suggesting they held significance for the communities who lived and worked the upland landscape.

Today the stones remain as they have for thousands of years, part of the broader pattern of Bronze Age monuments that shape how we read Dartmoor's ancient past. The site is a scheduled monument, protected for its archaeological importance. Visiting involves walking the open moor and requires the usual care and respect for the landscape.
