Full description
12/07/1984, Boundary Bank (Personal Comment). SDV74416.
Site visit 12th July 1984. Feature still visible, although somewhat obscured by scrub and not seemingly continuing the whole length of the modern bank. Given its size, proximintiy to a bank and ditch and the relatively insubstantial nature of the Landkey-Barnstaple parish boundary it could be a precursor to the South Molton Braunton Hundred boundary.
