Dated to the Late Neolithic or Early Bronze Age, the Nine Maidens Stone Row is likely associated with ritual or ceremonial activity, common for such linear arrangements in prehistoric Britain. Local folklore sometimes interprets the stones as representing a group of transformed women, a motif found in various Celtic traditions.
