Summary
Boundary stone, Ugborough Moor. Situated in line between cairn east of Sharp Tor and top of Brent Fore Hill. A cut stone, evidently one of the 1803 erections, with the letters 'H' and 'U' cut on the west and east sides respectively. Worth records that 55 boundary stones were erected in August and September 1803, of which 51 are marked H-U. These were set to mark the bounds between Harford and Ugborough moors, not necessarily the parish boundary.
