Stone Trough, broken in two near Smallacombe Rocks

I bumped into this whilst participating in an orienteering event at Hound Tor. No GPS on me so the NGR is a TOTAL guess!!

I believe Smallacombe Rocks has been known incorrectly in the past as Grea Tor. (RJN)

Found by accident and NGR obtained by Max Piper.

One of Dartmoor’s most delightful valleys, steeply sided and lined by stupendous sentinel outcrops, notably Holwell Tor, Smallacombe Rocks and Greator Rocks. It was one of William Crossing’s Gems in a Granite Setting.
