164 INSCRIBED STONES AND ANCIENT CROSSES OF DEVON. 
CADOVER BRIDGE. 
At Cadover Bridge stands a cross that had long been fallen. 
During the military manoeuvres of 1873 the soldiers replaced it, 
burying the shaft deeply in the soil, and cutting a trench round it. 
Close outside the trench they placed a directing-post, with a 
hand pointing to the river Plym just below. On the post was 
written, " Watering-place of the 1st Battery of Artillery.' 9 
The cross is squarely cut, and roughly hewn. It is about 
nineteen inches above the ground, the arms are about six inches 
long, and the edges are weathered round. 
The face of the stone, which now stands south, is flat, and on 
the surface is engraved a cross which has the extremity of each 
limb intersected by a line that forms another cross.
