This granite post with a plaque is situated on the hill between Walkham Head and the South Tavy River. It's a short peat pass and rather difficult to find.

These peat passes were cut by a team of men between 1895 and 1905 under the direction of William Francis Phillpotts. 1837 – 1909. They were cut simply to make traveling easier in very difficult terrain.
Type of Historic Marker: Small granite post with plaque.

Age/Event Date: 01/01/1895
