One of two county bridge stones at Denham Bridge, engraved with a 'C' for County.
SX47719 67961. Small marker inscribed with a 'C' approximately 90 metres to the north of the bridge on a section of unclassified and now largely redundant road. On east side of road, south of telegraph pole. Vulnerable to vegetation growth.
There are a good number of these so called C stones surviving in Devon, set at about 100 yards (300 feet) either side of County Bridges. They mark responsibility for repairs on the approach to the crossing point. They seem to date to the early 1840s. They are often hidden under vegetation or buried in banks.
