Passmore, A., 2018, Woodbury Common, Devon: Archaeological Survey of Fire Damaged Heathland (Report - Survey). SDV363233.

This document sets out the results of an archaeological survey carried out by AC archaeology on 7 May 2017 and 23 June 2017 of part of Woodbury Common, Devon. The survey covered approximately 31ha of heathland that had been damaged by fire on 23 April 2017.

The surviving concrete base measures 5 metres long by 1.30 metres wide, and probably represents a pathway to the former building (Plate 2). There is some concrete debris located to the northeast and southwest of the in situ concrete. To the southeast, at SY 03842 87882, is an irregularly-shaped mound, aligned north-south, and measuring 15metres long by 8 metres wide (Plate 3). To the east of the building, at SY 03876 87897, is a northeast-southwest aligned mound measuring 12 metres long by 7 metres wide and 0.80 metres high (Plate 4). To the northeast of this mound at SY 03882 87906, adjacent to the track, is a third mound, aligned east-west, measuring 6 metres long by 4 metres wide by 0.80m high (Plate 5). The mounds are probably associated with the building. A single pigs tail barbed wire support post is also located in this area, to the south of the in situ concrete
