MDE12842 - Possible Bronze Age cairn south of Woodbarrow Hangings (Monument)
Summary
Please read the caveat document.
Type and Period (1)
Protected Status
Full Description
SS 7106 4255. A round mound seen by McDonnell on aerial photographs. N.B. The georeferencing of this feature suggests it abuts the field boundary to the south of the easternmost Longstone Barrow (MDE1282). [1-4] The NGR given falls on rather wet, rough grassland on the southern summit of a ridge. There are several barrows along this ridge to the east and west. As such it is a good situation for a cairn; however, no trace of this feature could be found. [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]
