Image of Top Tor (Cairn(s)) by GLADMAN

Looking approx north from near the summit crags of Top Tor... the cairn is located a little beyond the small ‘pond’ upon the path from the car park.

Quintessentially Dartmoor, my friends.... the grassy cairn fills most of the lower half of the image.

My trekking poles delimit the footprint... in my opinion.

Little evidence of visible stone is to be seen here... a couple of potential kerb stones semi-obscured by grass. Ironically this cairn is shown on the 1:25K OS map.... whilst an arc of substantial stones some way to the approx. south-east (at SX7365 7645) are not. Like a muppet I neglected to photograph the latter..
