Stone cross adjoining Fitz or Fice's Well
Belstone, Okehampton, Devon
Grid ref: SX 5918 9377
This stone cross adjoins Fitz's Well, also known as Fice's Well, a small spring or water source on Dartmoor. The cross itself is likely medieval in origin, one of many such markers that once guided travellers and pilgrims across the moor's open landscape. Such crosses served practical and spiritual purposes, marking routes, boundaries, and places of significance in the medieval period and beyond.
Today the site remains in the moorland setting it has occupied for centuries. Visiting requires walking into the open moor, and the cross and well together form a quiet reminder of the long history of human movement and use across Dartmoor. The exact age and original purpose of this particular cross remain part of the moor's layered history.
