Kitty Jay's Grave

United Kingdom / England / Ashburton /

Jay's Grave (or Kitty Jay's Grave) is supposedly the last resting place of a suicide victim who is thought to have died in the late 18th century. It has become a well-known landmark on Dartmoor, Devon, in South-West England, and is the subject of local folklore, and many a ghost story.

The small burial mound is to be found beside a narrow lane just below Hound Tor. A glass jar on top of the grave is regularly refilled with fresh flowers, although who does this remains a mystery.
