Josephine Collingwood writes: “There are landscape features in northern Dartmoor that are bowl-like, such as that on the north end of Corn Ridge near Shelstone Tor. Previously thought of as ‘nivation hollows’ where snow accumulates and compacts, these are early stage glacial cirques of ‘corries’ where ice accumulated and scooped out the hillside further into an amphitheatre shaped hollow.”
