Devils Arrows, Boroughbridge
This is the southernmost of three huge monoliths erected nearly 5,000 years ago at what is now known as Boroughbridge in North Yorkshire. Historical records suggest that several centuries ago there were five such stones in a line, now only three stones remain, but standing nearly 7m tall, they should be around for another couple of millenia. I was surprised to find that this ancient monument had been defiled some years ago by the Ordnance Survey people as this Devils Arrow carries the arrow of an O.S. benchmark.
