- None recorded
Full Description
Two highly braided trackways are clearly visible running across Lype Hill on vertical aerial photographs. The trackways run east to west and northeast to southwest and cross each other in the vicinity of the old iron workings described in record MMO938 and may be contemporary with them. A third trackway is visible running parallel to, and 250 metres to the south of, the east to west trackway. [1-3] It is not clear whether any of the above refer to the trackway that forms the Herepath (MSO11642). [5] This record was enhanced as part of the National Record of the Historic Environment to Exmoor National Park Historic Environment Record data transfer project. [6]
