More information : "In Dr Richard Pocock's Travels through England in
1750, it is stated that, in passing through Devonshire he went
by way of Brent Tor (Brent Hill centred at SX 762617) to see the
fall of a rivulet into the Lyd, and there discovered the remains
of a hermit's cell adjoining a chapel in a most retired place,
between hills covered with wood. It belonged to the abbey of
Tavistock". (1)
