Boundary stone 'c' in a line of stones marking the boundary between Okehampton Hamlets and Dartmoor Forest stretching from Sandy Ford to Cullever Steps. Each is inscribed 'OPB' on at least one face. Many of these stones are paired with a small slab at the foot of a tall pillar which was presumably a more visible replacement.
