The summering of cattle on the Moor must be a very ancient 
custom, for as early as 1305 there is an entry that Donebrugge, i.e. 
Dunnabridge, arrented this year to Richard Rauf, Hamlin de 
Sherwell, William Togot, Richard Steven, and James de Woghby ; 
whilst thirty -eight years later credit is given in the Duchy 
Accounts for a lock bought " for the gate of the Pinfold at 
Donnabridge." We thus gather that, five or six centuries since, 
mining, agriculture, and cattle -grazing flourished side by side, 
finding employment for numbers of men who have left traces 
of their handiwork and industry scattered all over the Moor.
