Remains of linear features not clearly visible on this (or earlier) aerial photographs. Some very faint indications are just possible to identify along the route indicated by the lidar data.
Environment Agency WMS, 2022, Environment Agency LIDAR Composite DTM 2022 - 1m (Cartographic). SDV365447.
Lidar data shows remains of linear features that may represent field boundaries or an enclosure related to the potential hut visible at SX 66743 84577. A straight linear boundary runs from SX 66797 84604 TO SX 66683 84518 on a north-east by south-west alignment that matches the parallel reave system further north-west on Thornworthy Down.
A curving linear boundary appears to lead north from the above boundary from SX 66701 84528, before turning eastward. May represent the remains of a partial enclosure.
