158 INSCRIBED STONES AND ANCIENT CROSSES OF DEVON. 
HAMILDON CROSS. 
This relic of a past age stands on the western brow of Hamil- 
don Down, between Broad Barrow and Hamildon Tor. It is 
one of the most rudely-executed crosses on the moor. For many 
years it was partially buried in the soil on which it fell, and in 
1839 was replaced as a boundary mark defining the extent of the 
Duke of Somerset's property in this direction, his lordship having 
engraved on it the letters H.C., D.S., 1839, for Hamildon Cross, 
Duke of Somerset.
