MEM22611 - Possible prehistoric mound on The Chains (Monument)

A low and indistinct stony mound was noted during a non-intrustive walkover survey of the proposed mire restoration area on The Chains, undertaken by South West Archaeology as part of the Exmoor Mires Project. This falls within the general stony area MEM22612. [1] The Historic Environment Officer for the Exmoor Mires Project undertook a non-intrustive walkover survey of the proposed mire restoration area on The Chains, which included this site. Noted was a stony mound measuring 10 metres in diameter and 0.5 metres in height, located within the stony area MEM22612. This could be prehistoric in date, although the feature is not well defined.
