At the edge of the open moor, near the newtake wall on the southern slopes of Western Beacon, about 130 metres east of Stowford Moor Gate, there is a large stone marking the parish boundary. The stone is 2.362 metres horizontal length, the letters 'H' and 'U' 127 millimetres by 152 millimetres are cut on the west and east sides respectively. This was probably done in 1803. The stone is marked and named on the J Andrews map of 1799, near Rutt Corner. Rhw quotes from j. Andrews, 26.7.1800 - "wm. Towzer says that all the moor which adjoins east harford moor on the east, from prowse's rock to a long stone beyond hobajones cross, belongs to the manor of torpike, and not to the manor of langford leister". South of the rock the parish boundary leaves the moor and follows a course marked by stone walls and hedges to the exeter-plymouth road.
