Type and Period (1)

- None recorded
Full Description
Post-medieval water meadow system visible on vertical aerial photographs at Armoor Farm, Exton. [1-4] The system may be associated with the farm waterwheel. [5] It is downstream of Armoor Farm as plotted and therefore could be a system using outflow from the tailrace but not supplying the water power. It could be fed by the strem to the east. [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]
