Full description
Nature Conservancy Council, 1989, Braunton Burrows Habitat Map (Cartographic). SDV339613.
A signpost is marked on the Braunton Burrows Habitat Map.

It may be recent but the location next to American Road suggests it could date to World War II.
Visited 2009. This was not located during the survey. Dense scrub vegetation at this NGR. The signpost may have been removed or obscured by vegetation. If contemporary with post Monument 74039 it was probably of post-World War II date.
Breeds, J., 2011, Untitled Source (Personal Comment). SDV346381.
This was a Ministry of Defence warning post set in a concrete-filled drum. Other details: Correspondence with S. Knight.
