Summary
Two possible archaeological features of uncertain function and date are visible on aerial photographs of 1947, at Collinshayne, Hemyock. The origin of the features should be viewed with caution, and it is equally possible they are the result of modern agricultural practice. The features are not visible on other aerial photographs after 1947.

Two possible archaeological features of uncertain function and date are visible on aerial photographs of 1947, at Collinshayne, Hemyock. The northern of the two adjacent features is oval in shape and measures approximately 25m in length by 21m in width, with that to the south being more circular in shape and measures approximately 16m in diameter. It is unclear from aerial photographs of 1947 whether these features are visible as earthworks, or as areas or rough vegetation. The origin of the features should therefore be viewed with caution, and it is equally possible they are the result of modern agricultural practice, such as spoil heaps. The features are not visible on other aerial photographs after 1947.
