Devil's Arrows Origin Finally Solved | Science News

Scientists have solved the mystery of how Britain’s tallest prehistoric stone row, the Devil’s Arrows, was built—revealing that ancient builders dragged 25-tonne stones 18km from Brimham Rocks using a non-invasive mineral fingerprinting technique. This confirms deliberate human transport, not natural forces, and hints at deep cultural or spiritual significance tied to the landscape. Researchers now plan to apply this method to other standing stones and dig deeper at both sites, forging a new link between Yorkshire’s ancient landscapes and the people who shaped them thousands of years ago.
