What is recorded here
The National Heritage List for England records Stone alignment west of Boroughbridge known as the Devil's Arrows, including three standing stones and the setting for a fourth as a scheduled monument. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
The Devil's Arrows is likely from the Late Neolithic or Early Bronze Age, around 2500–1500 BCE, and may have functioned as a ceremonial or astronomical marker. Local folklore associates the stones with the Devil, reflecting later medieval Christian interpretations of prehistoric sites.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
