Full Description
A review of available aerial photographs by McDonnell notes walls forming small enclosures and possible building remains south of Triscombe Wood. [1-3] The National Grid Reference cited by [3] (SS 920 374) falls in an improved pasture field where no surface evidence could be found of any archaeological features. [4] The remains of several conjoined buildings are visible on vertical aerial photographs, immediately to the south of a modern hedge at SS 9207 3735. To the west at SS 9202 3734, is a large amorphous feature (approximately 20 metres by 25 metres). These features are considered likely to be the remains of a deserted post-medieval farmstead. [2,5] Not mentioned in Aston's list of deserted settlements. [6] This record was enhanced as part of the National Record of the Historic Environment to Exmoor National Park Historic Environment Record data transfer project. [7]
