Full description
Royal Air Force, 1948, RAF/CPE/UK/2494, 3112-3 (Aerial Photograph). SDV147533.
Visible on 1948 RAF air photographs.
Robinson, R., 1978, South Brent Parish Checklist (Un-published). SDV137445.
(1980) No trace of enclosure could be seen on the ground.
Ordnance Survey Archaeology Division, 1979, SX66SE69 (Ordnance Survey Archaeology Division Card). SDV178267.
(July 1971) A prehistoric pound at approximately SX 695638 on the open common south west of Dockwell Farm. It may be clearly seen from the road on the hilltop south of Gidley Bridge (citing Lady Sayer comment, 1971).
(26/07/1979) The air photographs show centred at SX 69506383, a sub-circular enclosure, measuring approximately 45.0m in diameter, situated on a slight eastern slope at 297.0m OD. The area is moorland pasture but no trace of the enclosure can be seen on the ground. It seem probable that under suitable conditions Lady Sayer saw the cropmark, 1Km from the road.
Royal Commission on the Historical Monuments of England, 1985, Aerial Photograph Project (Dartmoor) - Dartmoor Pre-NMP (Cartographic). SDV319854.
Not visible on 1948 RAF aerial photographs utilised in the project.
