Kilmar Tor Granite Quarry (United Kingdom)


Kilmar Tor Quarry, from what I can see by walking the ground, was not an excavation as such, but a harvesting of the many scattered moorstones that litter the hillside. It was served by the Kilmar Railway, worked in the nineteenth century, which was a northern extension of the Liskeard and Caradon Railway.
