Tom Tallon's Crag
The hills to the left of the outcrop are Wester Tor and Easter Tor that make up Newton Tors.
The name of the crag probably comes from a large Bronze Age burial cairn known as Tom Tallon's Grave located about 100m to the south-west of the crag which was destroyed in 1858 Link

The Ordnace Survey Name Book entry (1860) for Tom Tallon's Crag reads:
"There is a vague tradition about Tom Tallon having been a Warrior and Slain here - hence the name, but nothing authentic respecting Tom, can now be ascertained."
