Summary

Two hollows are visible as oval earthworks on aerial photographs from 1946, and on LiDAR images of data gathered in 2007. They are located on the lower slopes of a hill at the junction of two watercourses. Although their date and function is not clear they may be the result of extraction activity.

Two oval hollows, approximately 10 metres x 20 metres and 17 metres by 7 metres, are visible on LiDAR images from data taken in 2007. They correspond to the cropmarks visible on aerial photographs from 1999. Other details: LIDAR SS2526NW Environment Agency D0076533 24-MAR-2007.

Hegarty, C. + Knight, S., 2011 - 2012, North Devon Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty National Mapping Programme Project (Interpretation). SDV349018.

Two hollows are visible as oval earthworks on aerial photographs between 1946 and 1999, and on LiDAR images of data gathered in 2007. They are on the same alignment and roughly similar in size at 17-20 metres long by 7-10 metres wide. They are located in the corner of the field, on the lower slopes of a hill where a small stream joins a larger watercourse, and although their date and function is not clear they may be the result of extraction activity.
