Also known as: Hunter's Tor

Hunter's Tor is a granite tor located in the parish of Lustleigh, on Dartmoor [1]. It is one of two tors with the same name, the other being in the Teign Gorge [1]. Hunter's Tor is in the Lustleigh Cleave, on the apex of a ridge above the River Bovey [1]. The tor is the location for an Iron Age hill fort, probably due to the views and defensibility of the site [1]. The hill fort was an oval enclosure which is 116 metres long and 70 metres wide, and it has three concentric ramparts with shallow ditches to the South East, and two to the North West [1].
