    But the rude spoliator came, and that which time had spared, speedily fell beneath his hand. The contemplation of the ruins to-day, cannot but cause regret and sorrow to the lover of our antiquities, and a feeling of indignation will not allow itself to be suppressed, when we reflect upon the wanton destruction of this ancient sepulchre.

    1887, William Crossing, The Ancient Crosses of Dartmoor, Exeter: James G Commin, page 57
