Details
WIDECOMBE-IN- SX 77 NW THE-MOOR 2/167 Gatepost on road from Widecombe to - Natsworthy, at south-west side of the entrance to the lane to Kingshead Farmhouse - II
Gatepost. Possibly medieval. A slightly tapering granite monolith, roughly oblong in section and about 1.5 metres high. At the top of the north-east face, above the gate-catch, is an incised cross. Mr E N Masson Phillips says that it "may be of significance since it stands close to the fifteenth century Churchway".
