Notes
A well preserved Tor cairn approximately 21m in diameter encloses a small, unamed tor 180m SSW of Cox Tor. It comprises a ring of large to medium stones approximately 7m in width which are piled around a natural outcrop. The stones are of a fairly uniform size and most are not earth-fast. To the immediate NE a stretch of low turf-covered rubble walling 1.2m wide, 0.4m high and 15m in length connects two outcrops - it is probably of prehistoric origin but its function is obscure..
