Visited 11.09.22 Alex Tor Ring Cairn is the highest cairn of the Treswallock Downs Cairn Cemetery. It is located c. 25 yards NW of Alex Tor Summit. The cairn measures c. 15 yards in diameter surrounded by a stone slab kerb up to a maximum of 5 feet high in the NE Arc. There is a gap in the NW Kerb possibly made by the vandals who excavated the centre of the cairn leaving an interior of irregular mounds and hollows. Alex Tor Ring Cairn has a 360° panoramic view of Treswallock Downs. It is listed as Cornwall & Scilly HER No. 1970.50 (go to Links). Comments (0)  |  Add a comment  |  Permalink
