Generally associated with Charles I, and explained at http://www.dartmoorcam.co.uk/CAM/previouswalks/2010-12-15_KingWallCross/KingWallCross.htm as a "corn-ditch with a steep wall and ditch on the outside (Royal Forest side) to prevent the king's deer from entering the enclosed farm land with its crops and with a built-up inner side to help the deer escape back onto the open moor." This is also the location of the newly-discovered cross described on the same page.
