Full description
Fenlon, M., 2021, Dartmoor National Park Authority Boundary Stones, BS DNPA 12 & 13 (Un-published). SDV365022.
One of a group of boundary plaques (mostly mounted on stones) that mark the boundary of the Dartmoor National Park. Original metal plate signs mounted on poles installed after the designation of the National Park in 1951 were replaced by this style of signage. Investigation in 2021 recorded 41 signs currently in place, with additional removed markers and commemorative stones also noted.
Bovey Tracey 3 & 4 boundary stones at SX7991378162. At Lower Down Cross at the road junction an older tombstone shaped granite bollard (Type 2) with an oval recess incribed 'DNP' was replaced in 2019 with a block of rough granite with the 'Pony' logo on the hexagonal plaque. Even though only installed in 2019 this plaque has an old style 'Pony' logo introduced in 1959 which was replaced in 2010.
