A farmer recalls having discovered a 'paved area' when this field was ploughed 'a few years ago'. No earthworks are visible in the cut grass. Two sherds of pottery (post medieval North Devon Ware) were picked up from the area. The nature of the paved area is uncertain. It could be related to a building or a road. A cropmark has been recorded in the field immediately to the west. Map object based on this source.
