Full description

Nature Conservancy Council, 1989, Braunton Burrows Habitat Map (Cartographic). SDV339613.

A signpost is marked on the Braunton Burrows Habitat Map.

Passmore, A. + Knight, S., 2009, Farm Environment Plan (FEP), Updated Spreadsheet of Archaeological Sites (Un-published). SDV344664.

Signpost south of Poacher's Track. The age of this feature is unknown, and as it is not shown on US Army plans it is likely to post-date World War II activity. However it is sited next to a track shown on nineteenth century mapping and a land division on the US Army plan.
Visited 2009. At NGR given the only signpost is a modern Ministry of Defence training area sign. To the west, however, some of the fence lines have been altered and it is possible that the feature has been removed.
