The next village reached is Sheepstor, little more than a hamlet really, with a square-towered granite church and medieval cross at its centre and a quintessential Dartmoor leat running along the roadside. Of interest is an old well-head, standing outside the eastern wall of the churchyard. Constructed of bits of gothic tracery, the water in the well itself is clear.
Possible holy well, the well-head is a Victorian construction made using elements of gothic tracery when the church was restored. The earliest documentary source is 1570.
