The “Tolmen Stone” on the North Teign approximately 400 metres to the south of the circle . This is a large stone set in the river bank and an adult can easily fit through the hole , being around 3ft in diameter. According to legend if you pass through the hole it will cure you of whooping cough and/or arthritis . You can see that others are starting to form.
