The most southerly of the three surviving monoliths that date from either the late Neolithic or Bronze Age. The sandstone monoliths are up to 7m in height, with another 1.5 - 2m below the surface. They were somehow transported here from Plompton [SE3553], which is south of Knaresborough and across the River Nidd. The Devil's Arrows are thought to be part of a much larger series of henges etc that stretch NNW from here across Hutton Moor towards the Thornborough group. [SE2879]
