Two double stone alignments, cairn and standing stone 700m south west of Laughter Hole Farm
Devon
Two parallel stone alignments stretch across this section of Dartmoor, likely laid out during the Bronze Age when the moor was more densely populated and actively managed. The alignments are formed by lines of small stones and are accompanied by a cairn and a standing stone, features typical of ritual or territorial monuments from this period. These sites suggest practices connected to burial, ceremony, or the marking of land.
Today the stones remain scattered across the open moorland, weathered and partly turf-covered but still legible to those who know how to read the landscape. The site sits within the broader network of Bronze Age remains that define Dartmoor's ancient character and offer a glimpse into how people organised and understood this high ground thousands of years ago.
