More information : SS 83994312 and SS 83904270. Two short lengths of bank, 50.0m and
12.0m long respectively, within 008 degrees of the same orientation
were recorded on Porlock Allotment. The parish boundary between
Porlock and Exmoor is on a similar orientation and may represent the
fossilization of another element in a possible field system. (Listed
under prehistoric). (1)
Various sections of field boundaries of uncertain date are visible to the south of the headwaters of Weir Water. They are not conclusively part of the same system and are generally fragmentary. They are confused by later activity in the area, including the Simonsbath to Porlock Railway (SS 84 SW 44) and drains, such as the two converging drainage features at SS 8388 4334.
They comprise:
At SS 8399 4309 is a short stretch of stony bank, 1.6 m wide and 0.4 m high.
At SS 8383 4299 is an L-shaped length of stony bank in a patch of bracken and reeds.
At SS 8402 4333 is a bank and ditch flanking the southern side of the trackbed of the Simonsbath to Porlock Railway.
