Full description
Royal Air Force, 1945, RAF/106G/UK/967, RAF/106G/UK/967 RS 3144-3145 01-NOV-1945 (Aerial Photograph). SDV351060.
Five possible earthwork mounds are visible as earthworks.
Hegarty, C. + Knight, S. + Sims, R., 2013-2014, South Devon Coast Rapid Coastal Zone Assessment Survey National Mapping Programme Project (Interpretation). SDV351146.
Five mounds, approximately 12 metres in diameter, are visible as possible earthworks on aerial photographs taken in 1945 at SX6525244727, SX5672444742, SX6534144718, SX6536644730 and SX6527544792. The last is more linear than the other four, which are irregular but roughly round in plan. Although they could be the remains of earthwork mounds, perhaps pillow mounds associated with the possible warren to the south (MDV36197), their variation in shape and alignment suggests they are more likely to have a geological origin.
