Mike Brown Square 541 637 - Pipe Track ......
In the early half of the nineteenth
century Edward Hurrell, a local stonemason, used to work granite on the
slopes hereabouts, as is indicated by the particulars of an order sent
to him in 1837, which asked him to �
..without much delay prepare on
parts of West Down, convenient for their being got out, of good Granite
� 18 mowstead posts 3ft 6in long � and 18 caps for ditto 20in diameter
. I understand your prices are 1s each for the Posts, and 1s 6d each for
the Caps...they are wanted for Mr Clinnick of Roborough Farm, and must
be had...I rely upon your selecting good ones...
Mowsteads were the short granite posts for supporting rick bases, more conventionally known today as staddles, the caps being the circular "mushroom tops" which may still be seen on some of those which are today purely ornamental features of many rural gardens � as, for example, in the garden of a house at Jordan (q.v. grid square 7075).
The above order is of interest for another reason, quite aside from providing evidence of Hurrell�s trade, and the prices which he charged for particular items. For the reference to the requirement that the finished artefacts should be in an area where they could be easily �got out� infers that the mason would not himself have delivered them, but that they would have been collected by Mr Clinnick himself, or one of his employees. Which in turn doubtless explains why so many apparently perfectly useable granite artefacts lie abandoned on the open moor, mewsteads (staddles) + caps (mushroom tops)far from any habitation, having been completed by the masons but not collected by the persons who had ordered them.

Corn ditches originate from the time when Dartmoor was a
royal hunting area and there was a need to keep the King�s deer out of the
cultivated land. A stone revetted wall and external ditch faced onto the open
moor which deterred deer and other animals from jumping over, whilst the sloping
grassy bank on the inner face allowed those animals which had entered to exit
again without difficulty. Source:

Snipe fly (Rhagio species - there are several)
Fox Moth caterpillar (common during July-October), up to 8 cm (3 inches) in length. It feeds on heather, bramble and bilberry. It will be fully grown by the autumn and will then hibernate, to emerge next spring to pupate without feeding, in March/April, and be on the wing in May. Click here for: a photo of an adult.
