MEM22650 - Undated platform on The Chains (Non-antiquity)

An indistinct platform was noted during a non-intrustive walkover survey of the proposed mire restoration area on The Chains, undertaken by South West Archaeology as part of the Exmoor Mires Project. This platform is cut into the upper slopes of the combe and was concealed beneath soft rushes; it is thought to be possibly natural. [1] The Historic Environment Officer for the Exmoor Mires Project undertook a non-intrustive walkover survey of the proposed mire restoration area on The Chains, which included this site. Noted was an indistinct platform located on the upper slopes of the combe; the feature was vegetated by rushes and is probably natural in origin. [2]
