a database of both lesser & well-known rocks and outcrops
East Mill TorEast Mil Tor ![]() Fine outcrops on a hill within the Okehampton Firing Range, with the Black-a-ven Brook to the west, and the East Okement to the east. ![]() Easily accessed via the military road, this long ridge of granite could easily be split into two separate tors, with a grassy mound in the middle. ![]() Eric Hemery writes; "The tor, which has good examples of rock-partings, is an elongated, severely weathered rock-ridge. Its apex is near the south end, where a small OP with sunken approach has been built under the rock, while on bed-rock of the summit is a shooting-butt. This end of the rock-ridge is excessively broken, the surface granite showing much decay and fragmentation." ![]()
