I'm not convinced that it needs to be a maze in order to be neolithic. Earthworks on that scale would be a massive undertaking just to give donkeys an easier time on the way up. I'd be quite comfortable ruling that theory out. The tor pretty much screams "ritual landscape feature" at you as soon as you lay eyes on it - and that's without it being surrounded by marsh and shrouded in mist as it would have been a few thousand years ago. It seems inconceivable that neolithic people WOULDN'T have done something special with it. Whether that involved shaping it is another question, obviously.
