CW 1 Boundary Stone, Waytown Farm, being used as a Gatepost

Acknowledgement: Special thanks to Mark Fenlon for spotting this missing boundary stone on Dartefacts! Mark acknowledges Dartmoor Chris for bringing his attention to the stone.

It is possible that ‘CW’ denotes ‘Criptor Waste’, but Paul Rendell is convinced that it actually stands for ‘clay works’. He wrote an article in Dartmoor Magazine Issue 20 Autum 1990 pp.26-28 about the clay works. (MP comment, September 2022)
