Buckfastleigh
The tomb of Squire Richard Cabell (d. 1677) of Brook Hall, Buckfastleigh, sealed under an iron-barred stone structure locally known as "the Sepulchre." Local legend held that a phantom pack of hounds ran with him across the moor, and the tomb is the leading, though unconfirmed, candidate for the real legend behind Conan Doyle's The Hound of the Baskervilles.
