Ancient Cross in Devon
The remains of an incised cross stands at the foot of Lynch Hill, 200 yards south of Meavy Ford. In 1937, it was struck by a car and broken off at a point six inches below the surface. Excavation for re-erection revealed an irregular shaped socket-stone which was left uncovered when the cross was repaired. The cross was re-erected to a lower height than its original one.
