Boundary Stone Approximately 600 Metres North North West Of Blackaton Cross

This boundary stone lies on the high moorland north west of Blackaton Cross, a modest marker of the kind that once defined land ownership and use across Dartmoor. Such stones typically date from the medieval period onwards, marking the edges of parishes, commons, or private holdings. Over centuries they have been moved, buried, and reset, their original positions and purposes sometimes lost to time.

Today the stone sits in the open landscape, a quiet monument to the way the moor was divided and governed. Visitors exploring this part of Dartmoor on foot will find it a marker of both history and topography, a reminder that the moor's empty appearance conceals centuries of human settlement, dispute, and claim.
