Jenkinson, T., 2007, Exeter to Exmouth (Incorporating Sandygate to Topsham Old B3181) (Report - Survey). SDV339943.
A boundary stone (c1822) on the east side of the A376, on a path/verge, about 150 metres south of a mini roundabout by the George and Dragon pub. The stone is a very worn parish boundstone, which should have a legend reading 'St/Georges/Clyst/P' on the left hand side, and 'Wood/Bury/P' on the right hand side, though this is illegible.
Two routes into Exmouth from the city of Exeter that were turnpiked and had milestones and boundary markers placed at various points. Only a handful survive today and most are very worn, with their legends difficult to decipher. The boundary stones are in very poor condition and have suffered from considerable erosion. Dating the stones here is problematic because the Exeter Turnpike Trust operated from the mid 18th century, and some of the milestones may be of this age, although the boundary stones are later, at c1822. Quite why they are so eroded is unclear and may suggest a greater age than first thought. Other details: Surveyed 07/05/2005.
