Eastern Tor is a modest tor east of Gutter, marked by scattered granite slabs and some horizontal badding. It features a pound enclosing a single hut-circle on its slopes, and offers views up the Plym valley. The site has suffered from erosion, but the southerly slopes show widespread clitter. It sits near Ditsworthy Warren House and provides good views to Drizzlecombe and Higher Hartor Tor.
