| Summary: | At a distance of three miles from Honiton, on the Sidmouth Road, at a point where four roads meet, known as Hunter's Lodge, is a large flat stone which tradition says was once used as an altar for human sacrifices. Appears to be unhewn, and may possibly have formed the capstone of a dolmen. Local tradition further states that the stone descends the hill every night, bathes in the stream for the purpose of washing out the stain of human blood which is still upon it, and that before morning it returns to its original position. |
