Visited on 3rd July 1998. Historic field boundary partly overlying the southern of four round barrows on Soussons Down.

Butler, J., 1991, Dartmoor Atlas of Antiquities: Volume Two - The North, 18-9, Map 24, Figure 24.2 (Monograph). SDV219155.

Field boundary shown on the north side of Cairn '1' at 'Red Barrows' in Soussons Plantation. A slight bank with the suggestion of a ditch alongside running to the base of the uphill edge of tha cairn. This may be a prehistoric reave, the only one found on Soussons Down, as the orientation differs about 10 degrees on either side of the barrow and so was probably aligned on it.
