Of Dartmoof and its BarcUrland. loi that a cross existed not far from the ford, but my searches for it were unattended with success. My informant^ although he had never been able to describe the exact spot where he had seen it» and admitted that this had been years before, was yet positive that he was not mistaken. In the summer of 1884 he made a search for it, and with the result that he re-discovered it, and told me of the circumstance. I found that it consisted of the head and arms and a small portion of the shaft, but this being partly covered with turf and heather, its real character was not readily recogniasable. From the top of the shaft to the fracture, which is just below the arms, it measured only two feet ; across the arms it was three inches more than this, and they projected seven inches from the shaft. Partly buried in the earth close by was a portion of the broken shaft. This mutilated cross is now fixed in an erect position, on the spot where for so long it remained hidden. Descending to the stream, which at the foot of Dry Lakes makes another abrupt turn, we shall reach the crossing-place to which the traveller of days gone by was directed by this roughly hewn stone. This is named Horse Ford, and is paved with flat stones, which would seem to indicate that a considerable amount of traffic at one time passed this way. On one of these, on the east side of the ford, is cut a large letter H, denoting the boundary of the parish of Holne, which we have now reached, for on passing over the Wobrook we are no longer in the forest, the stream here forming its limit. From Horse Ford an ancient road ran down the valley, on the right bank of the Wobrook, and although traces of it are wanting for some little distance, it is plainly to be seen lower down. Below Saddle Bridge it can be traced to the West Dart which it crossed at Week Ford, and again entered the forest, and there it may still be seen running through the enclousures towards the little modern chapel at Huccaby. Thence it went to Dartmeet, where was a clapper, now in part restored, and a ford, and crossing the river entered the parish of Widecombe. But our purpose does not need that we should follow this road very far. We therefore leave it at Saddle Bridge, where we enter upon the highway from Holne to Princetown, along which we make our way in a north-westerly direction for about
