MSO7624 - Alleged site of undated beacons on North Hill (Monument)

SS 9332 4766. These rough earthworks surrounded by a broken boundary. They may be the bases of beacons referred to in Hancock. [1,2] No trace of these features could be found at the National Grid Reference cited. [3] The earthworks referred to above [1,2] cannot be clearly identified from the available aerial photography. Aerial photographs taken in 1946 show numerous tank tracks, mainly orientated from east to west. The later photography shows a possible rectangular enclosure centred at SS 9338 4766 but this is probably due to the earlier Second World War tank training (MSO7678). [4-6] This record was enhanced as part of the National Record of the Historic Environment to Exmoor National Park Historic Environment Record data transfer project. [7]
