Beetor Cross: the site of a wayside cross near Beetor

Historic England's scheduling record (list entry 1009177) describes the original site of Watching Place Cross, which now stands a short way south and has its own scheduling, and an 18th-century waymarker. The waymarker is a tapering block of coarse granite, dressed to a rectangle, standing at the road edge on the south side of a T-junction opposite the lane to Chagford. It is set in limestone chippings 0.75 metres from the tarmac, behind a low kerb of individually placed stones, and shows 1.02 metres at most. Its base is about 0.46 metres across, and the top, which is rough and may have been broken off, is about 0.28 metres across. It lies in the parish of North Bovey, about 1.1 km east of Lettaford.

Three faces carry the initial letters of local towns: a C for Chagford, 0.18 metres high, on the north-west face, an M for Moreton on the north-east face, and a T for Tavistock on the south-west face, the last two 0.15 metres high. The south-east face has no letter and is rough. A triangular piece of stone is missing from the bottom of the south-west face.
