The new paper on the Tor and Cuckoo Stone* posits that: "The intervisibility of the two stones is likely to have been an essential feature of their locations, near the boundaries of their respective overlapping viewsheds,... the DTM indicates that a transect drawn between the two stones passes close to the apex of a meander in the River Avon at a point where it is approximately equidistant from each stone and potentially intervisible, both from and towards both stones.
The paper has shows their individual viewsheds but not them combined. Simply overlaying the two figures and tweaking the colours gives the combined viewshed.
