Stone alignment on Conies Down is a Bronze Age monument consisting of a line of standing stones located on Dartmoor in Devon. The alignment dates to the second millennium BCE and represents one of the characteristic ritual or territorial markers of the Bronze Age landscape in south-west England. The stones are arranged in a linear pattern across the moorland, a form common to Dartmoor's prehistoric stone rows. Such alignments are thought to have served ceremonial or processional functions within the Bronze Age communities of the region, though their precise purpose remains subject to scholarly interpretation.
