Of course the terraces could be artificial and neolithic without necessarily being a maze. I'd love to see some archaeology done on it.

The Tor was excavated 1964-66 By Phillip Rahtz .

I've not checked, but isn't there a similar mound in Abbotsbury, in Dorset?

I know. His excavations didn't shed any light on the maze/terrace theories. When I said "I'd like to see some archaeology done on it", I was referring specifically to the terraces (although there's been precious little archaeology done on the tor as a whole).
