Geocache Description:


This is my first cache .

Carburrow Tor , one of the lesser known Tors , it's not the highest but still has some cracking views from the top .

"Carburrow is one of those areas on Bodmin Moor that contain so much history in such a small area. Extensive Bronze Age huts litter the southern slopes with the remains of a long house up against the wall at the bottom (very near Tor farmhouse). There are two cairns atop of the tor, the one on the eastern side was hollowed out in the 2nd World War so the home guard could use it as a lookout post."

"The two cairns each conceal a golden coffin, containing the body of a king. A flock of birds protects them and chases away intruders - perhaps you'll see them wheeling round if you visit? It is said that attempts to dig a Home Guard lookout at the site were interrupted by a flock of birds."

The cache is a clip lock box with room for a small TB and a few small swaps and a coin of the Realm for the first to find .
