Peat Cot Hill is a granite hill situated in a remote part of Dartmoor, near several other tors and high points. It is not widely visited but stands out for its shape and position. The area around it includes other features listed in Dartefacts, though details about the hill itself are sparse. It is part of the broader landscape of granite outcrops and moorland paths that define the region.

Go deeper with Dartefacts
Dartefacts is a database of Dartmoor sites with far more close-up detail than we can show here, and it is the best place to go deeper. Dartefacts is free to use, and nobody has to pay to look things up. If you want more, a yearly subscription adds 10-figure grid references, map zoom down to 1:25,000 and lists to tick off the places you have visited, and it helps keep the site going. We would encourage you to subscribe.
