Three aerial photographs of Roundswell in Barnstaple show the curving northwest corner of an enclosure. The western side appears to be a double-ditched feature which may extend south as a fainter cropmark. One photograph is labelled 'Roundswell/Barnstaple DVP 43' but none have dates.
Miles, H., Unknown, Enclosure (Worksheet). SDV70738.
An aerial photograph of Hele Copse (DVP 43) appears to show part of a sub-rectangular enclosure; a dark mark indicates a ditch, but it fades to the north. Hele Copse has now been felled but there is no sign of the feature.
Miles, H. + Timms, S., Unknown, Enclosures at Roundswell (Worksheet). SDV350662.
Two or perhaps three sides of a rectilinear site show as a dark mark in pasture. This was covered by a Department of Environment geophysical survey but no positive information was recorded.
