The long flight of the Devil's Arrows

"The Devil's Arrows, a trio of towering prehistoric standing stones near Boroughbridge in North Yorkshire, have long captured the imagination of visitors with their sheer size and enigmatic history.

But where exactly did these massive monoliths come from? 

 According to archaeological evidence, the stones were likely quarried from Plumpton Rocks, a natural millstone grit formation located about 9 miles (14 km) south of their current location[1][3]. Millstone grit is a coarse-grained sandstone that is quite distinct from the finer-grained local building stone in the area[2]."
