MEM23204 - Possible prehistoric clearance cairn on Lanacombe (Monument)

As part of the Exmoor Mires Project, in 2013 Cornwall Council Historic Environment Service were contracted to undertake a non-intrusive walkover survey of the proposed mire restoration area on Lanacombe, which included this site. SS 78539 42484. A possible spread clearance cairn 3 metres in diameter. There is no apparent height to the feature but probing reveals stone immediately under the thin grass and moss layer which closely defines its extent. [1] The visit was followed by a further survey undertaken by The Historic Environment Officer for the Exmoor Mires Project. This may be a possible prehistoric clearance cairn, though this was thought to be a tenuous interpretation. [2]
