Full Description
SS 829 473. A bowl barrow on the side of the road (Oare No 2a). Grinsell further describes this as "west of Oare 3 [MSO7740], but east of Oare 2 [MSO7739]" [1]. This puts it 400 metres west of his grid reference, and applies to a mound at SS 82554735 which, however, is nothing more than upcast from an adjacent pond. [2] SS 829473? Oare 2a. Bowl barrow 6 paces diameter and 1 foot high listed as above. Visited by Grinsell 24th May 1961. [1] Grinsell has misinterpreted two spoil heaps from ponds and associated leats at approximately: SS 8254 4736. (To the north side of the A39 Porlock to Lynton road). SS 8291 4726. (In thick woodland about 60 metres north of this road). [3] This record was enhanced as part of the National Record of the Historic Environment to Exmoor National Park Historic Environment Record data transfer project. [4]
