Full description

Winton, H. & Dyer, C., 1998, The Brendon Hills Mapping Project Devon and Somerset (National Mapping Project), 1133978 (Interpretation). SDV360961.

Possible Post Medieval boundaries, apparently associated with a quarry, are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs. The quarry is marked on the OS first edition map of 1891. One of the boundaries extends for 300m south from the quarry. More boundaries are visible parallel and perpendicular to the long boundary. It is unclear what the function of these features is. They are centred at SS 9834 2510.
The exact aerial photograph used for transcription is not specified, but these references are given:
