Steve Grigg, in February 2022, comments:

“Just a thought……is it possible that the Harford/Ugborough Parish Boundstone, No.12, in Black Pool is incorrectly labelled ?

Dartefacts suggests the boulder in the centre of Black Pool is the boundstone at SX65492 58122

Looking at 1873-1888 map it records a boundstone at SX65493 58115 at the southern edge of Black Pool.

The photograph I took today, shows (to me anyway) an obvious recumbent stone on the southern edge of Black Pool, which I recorded at SX65492 58115.

If you look at the photograph the recumbent stone is even surrounded by the classic small circle of stone, which helped keep it upright

(NOTE: there are other stones on this boundary which has the same feature).”

This description, which Max Piper believes to be accurate, would make the rock cluster in the image above the boundstone location and not, as first perceived, the lone boulder in the pool.
