Around the pluton's margins where it intruded into [[slate]]s, the [[country rock (geology)|country rock]] has been [[hornfels]]ed. Numerous [[peat]] deposits occur across the moor whilst large areas are characterised by [[blockfield]]s of granite boulders; both deposits are of [[Holocene]] age<ref>{{cite web|title=Geoindex Onshore|url=https://mapapps2.bgs.ac.uk/geoindex/home.html|publisher=British Geological Survey|access-date=20 June 2020}}</ref> (see also [[Geology of Cornwall]]).
