Site visit to Witheridge Moor to survey targeted areas for Farm Environment Plan. Possible site of an enclosure, elliptical shape visible on Blue Sky 1999-2000 aerial photography. An area that shows up on aerial photography as an elliptical shape, about 80x60 metres across. On the ground it is defined quite sharply by a ring of bracken, suggesting slightly raised, drier ground than the surrounding wet heath. The middle is slightly sunken. Map object based on this Source.
