Centred at SS 7638 4321 are the remains of a ditched rectangular platform of uncertain date first recorded in 1993 [1]. The feature lies immediately adjacent to, and on the south side of the boundary of the Royal Forest of Exmoor (see MEM22088). It consists of a rectangular platform measuring 11 metres by 4.5 metres. On the west, east and south the platform is encircled by a ditch 5 metres wide and 1.3 metres deep. Its origin and function are obscure.
