Direction Post, North East Corner Of Sigford Crossroads

This direction post stands at the north-east corner of Sigford Crossroads, one of the key junctions crossing Dartmoor's high moorland. Such posts were essential waymarking features for travellers navigating the exposed landscape, particularly before modern signage. The post likely dates from the 18th or 19th century, a period when Dartmoor's network of routes was being formalised to serve farming, quarrying and tin working communities.

Today it remains a modest but tangible reminder of how people moved across the moor. Walkers and locals still pass this way, following routes that have changed little in centuries. The post is characteristic of Dartmoor's scattered heritage, evidence of the everyday infrastructure that sustained life and work on the high ground.
