    Text from the free encyclopedia WIKIPEDIA may appear below to give a little background information (internal links may not  work) :

    *************

    Bideford /ˈbɪdᵻfərd/ is a historic port town on the estuary of the River Torridge in north Devonsouth-west England. It is the main town of the Torridge local government district.

     

    Horn's Cross is located on the lower part of Holne Ridge, east of the O Brook and 0.5 miles (0.80 km) south of Combestone Tor. It lies at the junction of the Monks' Path and a track used by moorland farmers that went from Hexworthy to South Brent. It is now the first moorland cross on the eastern end of the Monks' Path, though it is thought that another one used to exist nearer to the edge of the moor.[15]

    In 1887, William Crossing wrote that the cross was badly damaged, with only the socket-stone and the head remaining. The head included a small part of the shaft and had only one arm complete. The cross has since been restored with a new shaft, though one of the arms remains mutilated and the iron tie-pieces holding the head to the shaft can be clearly seen.[15]

    Near to the cross, along the crest of the ridge, are a series of low Bronze Age burial cairns and the remains of associated stone rows. The cairn closest to the cross (60 metres to the west) was excavated by Robert Burnard in 1905. According to him its central pit contained "a considerable quantity of charcoal and burnt bones, but no other relics".[16]
