Early-Christian inscribed stone near Uphill
Devon
This scheduled monument is an inscribed stone from the Early-Christian period, when Christianity was spreading across the South West. The stone carries inscriptions that hint at its religious or commemorative purpose, though time and weather have made them difficult to read. It stands as a quiet marker of a transitional era in Dartmoor's history, when Romano-British life was giving way to Saxon settlement.
The stone's location near Uphill places it on the lower slopes of the moor, in landscape that would have been as significant to Early-Christian communities as it is to walkers today. Visiting it means stepping away from main paths and engaging with Dartmoor's deeper past, where scattered stones like this one tell fragmented stories of belief, memory and change.
