Summary
Alleged saxon moot hill. In a paper read to the teign naturalists field club, general sir claude bray drew attention to a large mound, with traces of ledges in the park to the south of haccombe house. It was suggested that this mound is a saxon moot hill. Its position is at the end of a spur, the end of which has been built up with earth and stones to form a dome-shaped extremity not less than 15.24m from level top to hollow below. The summit of the mound would permit a circle of 60 or so people (joce).
