Title:Prehistoric Enclosure on Chapel Hill, Braunton: a LIDAR Find
Originator:Kaye, S.
Date:2022
Summary:The 2020 LIDAR data reveals the ovoid shape of a prehistoric enclosure with a diameter of circa 130m north to south, with a possible truncation in the west due to a steep hillside and later activity. The outermost feature of the perimeter is a slightly raised scarped followed inwards by a ditch and bank. The inner surface shows signs of levelling typical of prehistoric enclosures that were probably occupied for extensive periods.
