JOUKNAL OF THE PLYMOUTH INSTITUTION. 
YEALMPTON STONE. 
In the churchyard at Yealmpton is an inscribed stone, for a 
sketch of which I am indebted to Mr. C. W. Dymond, c.e. He 
says that the stone is of granite, and that in the back are sunk three 
rectangular holes a few inches apart in a line, and each about 
4" x 3". They are evidently modern, and have no doubt been made 
to fix fencing in. I have understood that this stone, like many 
others of the kind, was prostrate for a long time, and was only 
re-erected within recent times, hence probably the legibility of the 
inscription. The drawing has been made from careful measure- 
ments, and is, I believe, an accurate representation of the object. 
The height is six feet four inches from the surface of the ground, 
and its breadth at the base is one foot eight inches. The top of the 
stone is rounded to an obtuse point, and the inscription engraved 
in Saxon letters is the word Toreus. About one mile distant is a 
village called Torr. 
I am also indebted to Mr. Worth, the historian of Plymouth,
