I have not yet seen the stone at Shebbear, but if it is or was a waymark stone, it may have been on the route suggested by the Yar Tor Triple Row which passes through Shebbear on its way to Clovelly. I have not yet had an opportunity to follow this aligment, and would need to find more stones on this route to confirm that it is a way marker.The length of the Yar Tor row is uncertain, and at present it is not possible to calculate the relationship between original row length and Journey length. Unfortunately the Yar Tor Tripple row is almost lost in Gorse, and very difficult to study. A good gorse fire will eventually make it more accesible.
If any one has knowledge of any placed stones on a direct route between Shebbear and Clovelly. please let me know.Any explanation of the stone turning would also be useful.
