Protected Status
- None recorded
Full Description
A linear feature was noted during a non-intrustive walkover survey of the proposed mire restoration area on Deer Park, undertaken by South West Archaeology as part of the Exmoor Mires Project. This is possibly an early drainage ditch, located on the southeast side of the combe. It has a fairly gentle concave profile and is approximately 1.5 to 2 metres wide and up to 0.6 metres deep. [1] The Historic Environment Officer for the Exmoor Mires Project undertook a non-intrustive walkover survey of the proposed mire restoration area on Deer Park, which included this site. Noted was a possible drainage ditch or holloway; though its shape does not entirely support either interpretation. [2]
