The total number of named tors and hills on the moor varies considerably depending on the source. Crossing refers to tors as "These granite masses, of which there are about 170 on Dartmoor." There are at least as many named hills, downs, beacons etc. It is not uncommon for a tor and a hill to share a name, as "Tor" refers to the granite outcrop (for example Nattor Down), equally, as can be seen in the list above, many names recur. Even the definition of Dartmoor varies between sources, particularly between modern sources and those that predate the national park.
