Full description
Mercer, R. J., 1987, An Archaeological Field Survey of the Upper Plym Valley, Dartmoor 1982-1986, 41 (Report - Survey). SDV165948.
Rectangular area enclosed on 3 sides by 2 lengths of walling of rough boulder construction. Dimensions of area enclosed: 34 metres by 16 metres.
Gerrard, S., 1990-2002, Monument Protection Programme. Archaeological Item Dataset., MPP 140527 (Report - Survey). SDV277946.
(10/03/1994) Enclosure survives as irregular area measuring approximately 34 metres by 16 metres and is defined by a series of edge set rocks and rubble. This structure is shown on the Mercer survey as butting stone alignment [SX56SE/13], although the Monument Protection Programme Advisor was not able to be certain concerning the precise relationship between these two features, and it is possible that it is earlier than the alignment. If this feature is earlier than the alignment it could represent evidence for early agriculture on the moor.
The depiction of this feature by the Mercer survey appears slightly inaccurate, but a detailed survey would be required to confirm this.
