Steve Grigg writes: “At Deadlake Head. Dave Brewer’s story of the missing WD 17 stone continues at Deadlake Head. He states “In 1988, at the beating of the bounds of the newly created civil parish of Lydford, another stone simply inscribed “WD” was found lying recumbent near to WD 20 (see picture). At first, it was thought that this stone may have been the intended WD 17 at Sharp Tor. However, on closer inspection, not only was it un-numbered but the inscription was quite crude and there wasn’t a ‘stop’ after the W”.“
