Notes: The word ‘HOOT’ is inscribed onto one of these rocks. (Reference: Paul Rendell, pg 23, Dartmoor News 144, May/June 2015). This could also be ‘DOCH’ or (more likely) ‘DOOM’.

There is supposed to be a broken stone trough located nearby – often hidden by the ferns and gorse. See elsewhere on the Dartefacts map.

This is a delightful tor that has only recently (as of 2024) been added to Ordnance Survey maps, largely thanks to Max Piper. The tor has featured in the literature by the likes of Messrs. Crossing and Hemery, though earlier there was some confusion as to the tor’s whereabouts above Hound Tor Combe.

Tors of Dartmoor contains more information about this fabulous rockpile.
