Boundary Stone, Ngr 503 767

This boundary stone stands on the exposed moorland, one of many markers that once defined the limits of medieval and post-medieval land holdings across Dartmoor. Such stones were placed to settle disputes and mark ownership or administrative divisions, and they remain quiet evidence of how the moor has been parcelled and contested over centuries.

Today it sits in the open landscape much as it has for generations, weathered by wind and rain. Walking across this part of the moor, it offers a tangible link to the practical work of land management and the lives of people who depended on knowing exactly where their rights and responsibilities ended.
