Spinsters' Rock is a Neolithic dolmen located near Drewsteignton in Devon. It is situated on Shilstone Farm west of the village, near the A382 road. The megalith consists of three granite supports rising to between 1.7 and 2.3 metres, surmounted by a capstone measuring 4.5 by 3.1 metres.
The dolmen collapsed in 1862 but was restored in the same year. While the site reveals no recorded finds, there are some free-standing stones nearby, although only two align with Spinsters' Rock.
There are 18th-century antiquarian reports of nearby stone circles and alignments, though these reports are considered to be of dubious accuracy.
