Prehistoric builders transported Devil's Arrows 11 miles

New research suggests that the massive stones of the Devil's Arrows, a megalithic monument in North Yorkshire, England, were transported an astonishing 11 miles from their origin. This monumental feat of engineering by prehistoric builders, likely in the Late Neolithic or early Bronze Age, involved moving gritstone blocks weighing up to 30 tons each. The three remaining monoliths, standing prominently in a field near Boroughbridge, are aligned in a roughly north-south direction and are a testament to the organizational skills and determination of ancient communities. The specific source of the stones has been identified as Plumpton Rocks, a geological formation located a significant distance away, adding another layer of intrigue to how these colossal stones were moved across the landscape without modern machinery.
