Summary edit

Description
English: The Coffin Stone Before the advent of the internal combustion engine all funeral processions had to make their way to Widecombe Church with manpower alone. This was sometimes a very long journey following ancient routes across the moor, one of which involved the very steep climb from Dartmeet up to Yar Tor.

Half way up the hill is a rock where the procession used to rest the coffin while they caught their breath - the Coffin Stone.

Incised on the rock are several crosses along with the initials of some of those whose bodies were rested here.
