The memorial, which is difficult to read, is to three valiant soldiers of the 7th Royal Fusiliers who never returned to duty at Dartmoor prison having lost their lives in a snowdrift up on the moor. They were all in their early twenties. This happened on 12 February 1833. Flowers are still placed near the stone.
