HER Number:MDV122639
Name:Lower Hannaburrow and Higher Hannaburrow, Braunton, Devon

Summary

Lower Hannburrow and Higher Hannaburrow are recorded as field names on the 19th century tithe apportionment and indicate that earthworks may be present in the area. It is unclear if the field names are still applicable on late 19th century mapping, however the road adjacent to the two fields appears to be named Hannaburrow Lane and quarries are visible to the west.
