Shilston Barton SX674536
A cross head found in a gateway on the ancient ridge road north-east of Modbury was moved to Shilston Barton. Not found at Shilston Barton in 2009; the current owner has no recollection of the cross head. The house and gardens were undergoing renovations in 2009, at the rear of the buildings are several heaps of granite, a large part of which have been dressed. A search of these heaps was made without success, the outbuildings have been converted into dwellings and the Devon Rural Archive have a converted barn (opened in 2007); they also have no knowledge of the cross head.
