Summary
Please read the Exmoor National Park Historic Environment Record caveat document.
Type and Period (2)
Protected Status
Full Description
A small mound was discovered in 1976, measuring 3 metres in diameter and 0.2 metres high, 27 metres from Joaney How, on bearing of 92 degrees. It is heather covered and in good condition. [1] The mound is included in the revised scheduling on 23 April 2003. [2] Many similar mounds were located on Dunkery Hill. They are unlikely to be prehistoric burial cairns and are more likely to be associated with recent activity on the hill. [3] The Scheduled Monument Condition Assessment of 2009 records this mound as in very good condition and of low risk. [4] This record was enhanced as part of the National Record of the Historic Environment to Exmoor National Park Historic Environment Record data transfer project. [5]
