Looking into the “chamber”. The west side (on the right) is formed of upright slabs, which look as though they might have been placed there by human intervention.

Approaching from the west. The Beacon, Hendra Downs is the prominent hill in the centre. The distant pale blue uplands on the skyline is Dartmoor.

Catshole Tor Quoit

Catshole Tor is one of those bits of Bodmin Moor that very few people visit...which is a shame. The hillside is littered with rocks and the views cross to Brown Willy are superb.

I had not expected to find anything man made up there so was only snapping pictures of the landscape. However when I got home and started reading up on Tolborough Tor I came across a piece in ‘Romance of the Stones’ talking about a chambered tomb on Catshole Tor.

Looking through the photos I realised I had taken several shots of it whilst trying to get some foreground into my Brown Willy photos.

Looks like I will have to go back up there and take a closer look...
