| 説明 | Found on the northern slopes of Hayne Down, about a mile from Hound Tor and close to the village of Manaton on Dartmoor and is the hard granite core of a former tor.The Celtic vawr maen, the "great stone" was refuted by R. Hansford Worth who pointed out that the correct Celtic form would have been maen vawr, so it could not have mutated into Bowerman.According to local legend, a huntsman called Bowerman lived on the moor around one thousand years ago. When chasing a hare he and his pack of dogs unwittingly ran into a coven of witches, overturned their cauldron and disrupted their ceremony.They decided to punish him, and the next time he was hunting, one of the witches turned herself into a hare, and led both Bowerman and his hounds into a mire. As a final punishment, she turned them to stone - the dogs can be seen as a jagged chain of rocks on top of Hound Tor, while the huntsman himself became the rock formation now known as Bowerman's Nose. |
