Devil's Arrows

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

One of the Devil's Arrows.

The Devil's Arrows are three naturally-shaped stones in an alignment erected near where the A1 road now crosses the River Ure at Boroughbridge in North Yorkshire, England (grid reference SE390666). Distinctively grooved by millennia of rainfall, they are 25 foot tall and stand 150 feet from the modern roadway. It is thought that the alignment originally included up to five stones.

The outer stones are 200 and 370 feet away from the central stone and form an alignment that is almost straight, pointing north to south.
