Full Description
An irregular oval mound 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 possibly represents post-medieval mineral exploration, as there is a slight hollow upslope c. 15 metres long by 3 to 4 metres wide and 0.8 metres deep. The mound is cut by a drainage ditch which was identified on aerial photographs. [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 an indistinct depression with heavy vegetation cover. This may be part of a drainage ditch. [2]
