Summary
Please read the Exmoor National Park Historic Environment Record caveat document.
Type and Period (2)
Protected Status
- None recorded
Full Description
Small round mound seen on aerial photographs. Likely to be a cairn. [1] Nothing resembling a cairn is visible in the vicinity of the National Grid Reference cited (SS 8381 3511). However, several amorphous undulations and scarps are visible, and appear to be associated with recent activity including dumping. It is possible that it is these features that are visible on aerial photographs. [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]
