Spinsters' Rock, near Chagford, Dartmoor, Devon

Best surviving example of a dolmen or cromlech in Devon, built around 4500-5500 BP. After the stones collapsed in 1862, they were re-erected the same year.

Name refers to the legend that three spinsters (in the occupational sense) were waiting for their woollen cloth to be collected one morning before breakfast and whiled away the time creating this arrangement of stones.

First of five burial chambers on yesterday's walk from Goodwick to Llanwnda (and back via the coast path).

The inland path goes via a farm with this cromlech in an adjacent field. It has no name, to my knowledge.
