Boundary Stone About 100 Metres North West Of Cold East Crossroads

This boundary stone sits in open moorland northwest of Cold East Crossroads, part of the network of markers that have defined land divisions on Dartmoor for centuries. Boundary stones like this one are typically modest in size but served an important purpose, marking the edges of parishes, estates, or common land in an era before fences and formal surveys. They remain scattered across the moor as quiet evidence of how the landscape was managed and understood.

The stone stands in the working moorland where walkers and locals still cross regularly. Its exact age is uncertain, but stones of this kind represent a long history of land administration on Dartmoor. Finding it requires navigation skills and local knowledge, rewarding those who venture into this remote corner of the moor with a tangible connection to the area's past.
