An uninscribed granite boundstone stands on the open slope about 260 metres east of the Sourton Tors Ice Works. It is No.01 of five blank stones that Dartefacts records around the works; Nos 02 and 03 stand about 120 metres to the west, No.04 about 190 metres to the south-west and No.05 about 160 metres to the south. None of them carries letters or numbers.
The ice works ran from about 1875 on 5 acres leased from the Duchy of Cornwall, and its history is told under its own listing. Sourton Tors rises to the south-west.
