Cut Hill Stone Row, Prehistoric stone alignment in Dartmoor Forest, England.
The archaeological site contains nine large granite slabs arranged in a straight line, stretching for 215 meters across the hilltop location.
Carbon dating of materials beneath one stone indicates construction occurred around 3620 BC, making it among the earliest stone arrangements in Britain.
The row represents a significant example of Neolithic engineering, demonstrating early human capability to transport and position massive stones for ceremonial purposes.
Visitors need to check military firing schedules before accessing the site, as it sits within an active training area of Dartmoor National Park.
This stone alignment stands out as the only dated stone row in Great Britain, providing concrete evidence for megalithic construction timing.
