Do you folk know the best place to see one of these? I know an example from Devon (Ivybridge) is now in the British Museum in London but are there any closer to home (i.e. in Devon, Cornwall or adjacent Somerset and Dorset)?

Regards,

Patrick,

I believe there is one in Tavistock - in the vicarage gardens.

There are three stones - all with latin, and one with Ogham as well.

I don't know how easy they are to access.

I believe there is also one in the Lewannick churchyard in Cornwall.
