Description
DC apparently stands for Duchy of Cornwall, but as for the big T and TP I've not come across yet.

From Legendary Dartmoor website: "Well, ok, everything is straightforward, er, well actually about 150m to the south-east of the circle stands the Whit Moor Stone and as always on Dartmoor there is a debate regarding its origin. The stone has the letters ‘D C’, ‘T P’, ‘ST ‘ and ‘T’ carved onto it. DC denotes the ‘Duchy of Cornwall’, TP stands for ‘Throwleigh Parish’. ST means ‘South Tawton’ and T simply ‘Tawton’, (Brewer, 2002, p.51). From this it can be determined that over the years the stone has been used as a boundary marker and from the South Tawton bounds Brewer (p.50) notes how the stone was also known as ‘Weekmon’s Stone’

Very good, I knew it wouldn't be long in coming.
