| Abstract: | In 1991 two similar linear brushwood features were noted during routine archaeological monitoring of areas subject to peat extraction, in an area known as 'Hooper's Ground' between the villages of Westhay and Burtle, some three miles west of Glastonbury. A short programme of survey and excavation in 1992 demonstrated that they were contemporaneous structures dating from around 1700. Their function is presently unknown, although it is considered that they may reflect land restoration for agricultural use post-dating earlier efforts at peat extraction. | |||||
