Description
A terrace on the north slope of the hill, north of East Myne farm.It is rectangular in shape, about 100m x 40m, and is defined by a low bank. The ground is irregular within the enclosure. It is thought by some to be the site of Mene or Myne, the Domesday Manor. Condition: good. [1]
The site of the terrace (possibly the site of a Medieval settlement) referred to above [1] is visible as irregular earthworks on aerial photographs viewed as part of the Severn Estuary RCZAS mapping project but no structures were visible and the earthworks are suggested as possibly natural. Further information, sources and photograph references are available in the Exmoor National Park HER record MSO7648. [2]
