Full Description
SS 7161 4269. A low ring bank north of Wood Barrow seen by McDonnell on aerial photographs. [1-3] The National Grid Reference given falls on rather wet, rough grassland crossed by hollow ways. It is astride the Devon/Somerset County Boundary; near the summit of the ridge; and overlooks the valley of the Barbrook to the north. A stone setting lies about 180 metres to the northwest, Wood Barrow is some 160 metres to the south and there are several barrows along the ridge to the west. As such it is an excellent situation for a cairn however no trace of this feature could be found. [4] This record was enhanced as part of the National Record of the Historic Environment to Exmoor National Park Historic Environment Record data transfer project. [5]
