The 2 inscribed stones c.1.5m + c.1m tall have letters h/t/w/b on separate faces. They have been erected near where they were found but probably originated at lower brimley ngr sx800771 marking the bounds of lands leased to haytor granite quarry by george templer and opened in 1820. The 2m granite post with drilled hole in top surface found at same location has also been re-erected and probably originally came from the tramway where it crosses upper terrace drive, the road from haytor to manaton where a similar stone remains in situ (brewer).
