Young, A., 2005, Transcriptions from Winkleigh Biomass Plant National Mapping Programme (NMP) project (Cartographic). SDV321540.

Transcriptions of two circular banks correspond to the grid reference for PRN167568.

Young, A. & Turner, S., 2005-2006, North Devon/Winkleigh Biomass Plant National Mapping Programme (NMP) project database records, PRN167568 (Interpretation). SDV358473.

Two mounds are visible as crop marks on aerial photographs (p1) and were digitally plotted as part of the National Mapping Programme. The first, at the quoted NGR, measures 7.5m x 6m, and the second, at SS49523 03245, is only 4m in diameter. The date and function of these features are uncertain. They lie within an area classed as medieval enclosures based on strip fields in the Historic Landscape Characterisation for Devon and are likely to be medieval or later in origin.
