BrousentorBrousen Tor, Brownsdon Tor, Brownson Tor, Brazen Tor, Brouzen Tor, Brouzentor ![]() A short small granite outcrop in a field above Baggator Farm. The nearby wall to the south has no gate. ![]() Eric Hemery says: "The small rock-pile of elvan from which the farm was first named, Brownsdon Tor (approx 1670 feet), lies a ruin in the field east of the farm lane. Much of the tor has been taken for building-material - even for the medieval wall seen running from it - and the clitter cleared to the edge of the field, many years ago, by horse-power." Like nearby Bagga Tor, this outcrop is actually granite. ![]() Although on Private Land, the tor can be viewed from the field entrance. ![]()
