Source/Archive record SEM8131 - Metric Survey of Part of West and East Pinford, Exmoor Forest: Project Report

The principal aim of this work was to carry out a walkover and metric survey to identify, accurately locate, record and interpret extant archaeological features in the survey area. These sites date to the prehistoric, medieval and post-medieval periods. The survey located a previously unrecorded prehistoric standing stone, field boundary and hut circle settlement. The standing stone appears to have been used as a marker for the layout of the field boundary; there is field evidence for a formal process of closure of the hut circle and the field boundary. The report consists of two sections: the archaeological features and their historic landscape context are outlined and interpreted in the first section. The second section contains the evidence base for this in the form of a Site Gazetteer which presents the detailed results of the survey work.
