A continuation of its higher neighbour this tor is composed of a couple of large outcrops sitting on the valley side in the west of the Roughtor Plantation.
As with all of the tors in this area, straying from the logging tracks should be taken with care, and you should be attentive with your footing, especially around the mines in the north-east of the plantation.
