Stone Row in North Yorkshire. Three stones remain, the shortest being 5.5m, the tallest stone is 6.8m.

Probably a five-stone row originally. The fourth stone was reputedly broken up in 1582 to build the bridge over the River Tutt, and the fifth is lost in history. The stones are of gritstone, having pointed tops, with a fluted effect caused by weathering, and are buried up to 1.5m into the ground. Dating from the Late Neolithic or Early Bronze Age, the stones were the site of a solstice fair in historical times. Several astronomical alignments have been postulated, as well as a straight ley-type alignment.

Directions
Turn off the A1(M) at the A6055 (Boroughbridge) and head into the town. Turn left after the Three Arrows Hotel, down Roecliffe Lane. The stones are a few hundred metres down and unfortunately near to the A1(M) that now bypasses Boroughbridge. The tallest is just off the road to the left, behind a gate. The other two are 200m away on the opposite side of the road, in a cornfield. It is possible to get near the stones by walking down the side of the field, taking care not to trample the corn.
