Exmoor National Park, 2009, Exmoor National Park National Mapping Programme (Archive - Survey). SDV350587.
A rectangular building platform is visible as an earthwork on aerial photographs. It is located at SS 5628 4619, at the bottom of a river valley below Green Park Hill. Three sides of the building appear to be intact; the fourth, which faces south west is incomplete. The building measures approximately 20 metres long by 15 metres wide. The walls are up to 2 metres thick. Its location at the bottom of a river valley suggests it may have been an agricultural building, such as a barn. It is not shown on the 1st Edition Ordnance Survey map, suggesting it was out of use and destroyed before this map was produced. Further work is required to obtain a precise date and function for this structure.
