Little Trowlesworthy Tor sits on the slopes of Penn Moor and Lee Moor, marked by a decent granite outcrop. The area is rich with ancient Bronze Age sites, including a stone row and circle, and features a notable cylindrical rock called 'The Bandstand', once intended as a flagpole base for Devonport Dockyard. The views stretch across the south moor towards Ditsworthy Warren and beyond.
