Full Description

An undated subcircular enclosure to the west of Great Nurcott. This feature is barely visible on vertical aerial photographs. The adjacent field boundary appears to be deflected around the possible enclosure site and this may add weight to the enclosure's existence. [1,2] This record was enhanced as part of the National Record of the Historic Environment to Exmoor National Park Historic Environment Record data transfer project. [3]
