Hookney Tor and grimspound
The best way to view this magnificent mid-Bronze Age settlement is by first making the short but steep ascent of Hookney Tor to get a birds eye viewpoint. Only then can the full splendour of this site be appreciated. The pound is located in the low land separating the heights of Hookney and Hameldown Tors. A ruinous dry stone wall encloses an area of about four acres containing the remains of twenty four stone huts in various states of disrepair and some animal enclosures. A stream, Grimslake, flows inside the northern wall.
