Rough Tor

[1] Rough Tor is approximately one mile northwest of Brown Willy, Cornwall's highest point, on Bodmin Moor.

In the circle's interior, there are remains of terraces levelled into the slopes, which archaeologists believe formed the foundations of circular wooden houses.

On the southern slopes of Rough Tor, there are the remains of numerous stone hut circles, set around three or four enclosures that may have held stock.

[3] A medieval field system based on straight lines overlays the Bronze Age field system at Rough Tor, and several medieval artifacts have been found in the area, such as the base for a stone cross and a small stone cross.

[4] A memorial stands below Rough Tor, commemorating the men of the 43rd (Wessex) Division who lost their lives in the Second World War.
