Cosdon (or Cawsand) Beacon, from the camp field at South Zeal at the Dartmoor Folk Festival. |
"Cawsand [Cosdon] has been the sit of prehistoric dwellings, but it is a wet place either for the living or the dead. We learn, however, from Mr. Baring-Gould's novel
John Herring that it was the residence of the Cobbledicks, a remarkable family who lived in barrels, and though they have found their way into fiction, are said to have really existed on, or near, the moor."
Cresswell 1921
