Abstract/Summary
A detailed metric and photographic survey of the ruined stone structures on a knoll at the head of the Hoar Oak Valley has resulted in a new interpretation of the site. The structures are the remains of Hoar Oak Cottage, Exmoor Forest, built by John Knight in 1835 for workers at the nearby stone gatepost factory. The cottage was abandoned by 1851 and the site was used as a sheepfold until the 1880s.
