Showery Tor

Showery Tor is a rocky outcrop on a ridge-top approximately 0.6 kilometres north of the Rough Tor summit, near Camelford on Bodmin Moor in Cornwall [1]. It is notable for its rock formations and prehistoric monuments [1]. The site was thought to have been a religious focal point, possibly from the Neolithic or Bronze Age period [1]. No excavations have been recorded at the site, and it is not known if any burials were made there [1]. The granite outcrop is reminiscent of the Cheesewring and made of individual blocks on underlying outcrops formed by erosion along horizontal fractures in the granitic mass [1].
