Milestone ‘ASHBURTON 9, TAVISTOCK 11’
Again, not on historic maps, so this is a guess.
Huccaby Races, Horse Measure
Notes: Steve Grigg provides the following details: This rather incongruous slab of concrete (approx 0.9m x 2.5m) is a platform on which the horses from the Huccaby Races (late 19th century / early 20th century) were accurately measured. As described on the Legendary Dartmoor website: “When pitting horse against horse in a race it is vital that all the competitors are of an equal measure to ensure fair play and for this a level base was needed“.
Reference: Steve Grigg, who also kindly supplied Dartefacts with the NGR.
Max Note: Classified under ‘Misc. Stones’ until I can work out what it should go under!
