Double stone alignment with a large cairn south-west of Penn Beacon is a Bronze Age ritual or ceremonial monument located on Dartmoor in Devon. The site comprises two parallel lines of standing stones together with a substantial cairn, characteristic of the alignments constructed during the second millennium BC in south-west England. Such monuments typically served ceremonial, funerary, or territorial functions within Bronze Age communities, though their precise purpose remains debated among scholars. The alignment and cairn together represent an important example of the complex ritual landscape that developed on Dartmoor during the Bronze Age period.
