Monument Number 35828
Hob Uid: 35828
Location : Somerset Somerset West and Taunton Withypool and Hawkridge
Grid Ref : SS8479033000
Summary : A possible shrunken hamlet is visible as earthworks on air photos around Westwater Farm.
More information : SS 852328. Earthworks around the present farmstead of Westwater indicated by McDonnell (? seen on air photographs) are possibly indicative of a change of site or shrinkage from a hamlet to a farmstead. (Aston's NGR would appear to be incorrect as Westwater Farm is located at SS 848330). (1)
