Old Boundary Marker in South Zeal village
Old Boundary Marker in South Zeal village
Parish Boundary Marker lying as an edging stone beside the public footpath from South Zeal village through Mill Field towards Hillfield and Croft. South Tawton parish.

Inscribed D C / 4 (Duchy of Cornwall) and S Z / 4 (South Zeal citizens) on opposite faces. The stone is one of four stones (SZ1-SZ4) erected in 1895 on South Tawton Common by the Duchy of Cornwall to mark the boundary of their land and prevent encroachment on the Common by villagers, farmers and residents of the parish. The stone was originally located at SX654922, as evidenced by a conveyance held in the Devon Record Office by which the Duchy of Cornwall and 44 ‘purchasers’ legalised 108 enclosures of land which had been subject to dispute.
