Full description
Exeter Archaeology, 2003, East Devon Heathlands Archaeological Survey, 61, Part 2: Gazetteer, Site No. 222 (Report - Survey). SDV101648.
Linear hollow feature, 4 metres wide by 0.6 metre deep, runs south from given grid reference. Traced south for circa 15 metres, after which it may peter out, although it becomes obscured by dense gorse in this area. Feature may represent part of hollow way (possibly earlier route of present north to south trackway to east) or may be a military feature. There is a circular feature depicted in approximately this position on the Ordnance Survey (1891) map which may represent a quarry. It is not known if the two features are related.
