- Height: 547 m
- Grid reference: SX 605 798
This Rough Tor is a reasonably flat tor deep on the northern moor, north of Two Bridges, at SX 605 798 and 547 m high. It sits within the Merrivale firing range, and its summit carries military huts and poles.
The views are long rather than dramatic, because the ground around the tor is flat. Cut Hill lies to the north, with Crow Tor and Beardown Tor to the south.
Dartmoor has several Rough Tors. The Tors of Dartmoor database also lists Rough Tor (Burrator), Rough Tor (West Dart), and a Great Rough Tor of 276 m in Roughtor Plantation, Sheepstor parish. Check the grid reference before assuming which one a walk description means.
