Full description

Oxford Archaeotechnics Ltd, 2001, Eastridge Farm, Bideford East-the-Water, Devon: Topsoil Magnetic Susceptibility & Magnetometer (Gradiometer) Survey, 5; Figs 3, 4 (Report - Geophysical Survey). SDV356388.

A circular anomaly some 17-18m in diameter. This does not appear to be a 'cut' ring ditch, but rather a weak magnetic trace left by a former compound or enclosure. It is ephemeral and unlikely to have any substantial sub-surface expression.
