These weathered stone supports once carried a railway line across Dartmoor's open ground, remnants of the ambitious engineering that linked the moor to the outside world in the 19th century. Built with the solid craftsmanship of the era, the supports still stand, their dressed stone faces showing the marks of time and weather.
