History
This SSSI used to belong to the Red Moor–Breney Common SSSI, the two sites having split in the 1986 revision where both sites were expanded. In 2017 these two SSSI were joined to Belowda Beacon SSSI and to Helman Tor (a non-statutory County Geology Site, not a SSSI) to form the Mid Cornwall Moors SSSI. There are now three adjacent nature reserves Breney Common, Red Moor and Helman Tor which have been renamed as Helman Tor Nature Reserve.
