Figures & data
Figure 1. The naturally weathered tors west of the summit of Rough Tor, set high above the rolling lower downlands of Bodmin Moor. These tors appear to have been intensely valued by early prehistoric communities who set up monuments (including view frames, stone circles and cairns) in relation to them. Among the tors can be seen several cheesewrings, stacks of overlapping slabs, that may have been used for excarnation. Photograph: Peter Herring.
