A nice little cache and dash to start off this series
Beatland Corner Cross is believed to be one of a series of waymarkers on the ancient route taken by the monks between the Augustinian Priory at Plympton and Tavistock Abbey.
The socket stone is all that remains of this cross. The edges of the socket have been badly damaged over the years. Although no-one really knows what has happened to the rest of the cross, William Crossing suggested that this socket stone could once have held the Shaden Moor Cross. The size and roughly shaped nature of the shaft would appear to be a very good match for the socket stone.
The cache is not at the cross itself but is close by at the above co-ords. Please retrieve cache and re hide carefully as this can be quite a busy area at times.
There is a special FTF badge for the first cacher to visit this cache.
