Full description

Rook Tor cairn at SX60236153 consists of a semi-circle of slabs amongst the rocks of Rook Tor, obviously artificially set. Its prominent position on the edge of the ridge overlooking Brokers Plantation and the lack of associated remains suggest the site of a cairn, entirely demolished but for half the reatining circle.
