Early Neolithic Tor Enclosure in Cornwall
This site is situated on spur a between two watercourses on the southeast edge of Bodmin Moor. Two sections of fairly well preserved stone wall link outcrops of the tour on the southwestern side, however little investigation has been carried out upon them.
It is significantly lower than Stowe’s Pound which towers above it. To the east is the Bearah
Common tomb. On the southeast edge of Bodmin Moor, slightly below the nearby high tors.
Good views to the east where the ground falls sharply away and Dartmoor can be seen on the horizon. Poor views into the Moor, as the higher tors, Stowe’s Pound, Sharp Tor, etc., block the views.
