Two sub-oval mounds, circa 15m and 19m long, are visible as earthworks on digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017, within Higher Brock’s Plantation, Teigngrace. The earthworks do not correspond with any features shown in this location on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, or on later available historic maps. They are of largely uncertain origin, although are tentatively interpreted as spoil heaps associated with extractive workings of between medieval to 19th century date, or else 19th century tree mounds. The earthworks are not visible on other available aerial imagery owing to dense tree cover of Higher Brock’s Plantation.
