This is a neolithic dolmen not too far from the A382 and to the north of Chagford. This is a classic burial chamber with three megaliths (standing stones) supporting the capping stone. The burial chamber collapsed in1862 but was re-erected in the same year. The story of the name goes that three spinsters (not as in a single woman but as in the spinster trade), walked along the road and saw the tomb had fallen. That morning they re-erected the fallen tomb, hence the name.
