Spinster 's Rock stands 3km west of the village Drewsteignton (which translates as "place of the Druid's Stones"), the dolmen is probably the remains of a neolithic burial chamber. Originally, the intact chamber would have been covered by a large mound, but this has been removed over the ages, so that no trace remains today. The surviving stones are all large, the capstone alone is estimated to weigh 16 tons and its top stands about 2.5m above the ground.Thursday, 24 January 2013
