Full description
Horner, W., 2004, Untitled Source (Site Visit). SDV320136.
Earthwork bank apparently enclosing part of a promontary. May be wood bank or earlier feature. Clearest at southern tip of Owen's Hill where the South West Coast Path rises over the bank. Continues northeast for c50m & then becomes indistinct. 'Interior' is lower, so it may be a result of quarrying. Previously noted by Waterhouse in 2002 & Turner in 2004.
