Abstract:		 Fieldwork carried out by English Heritage in partnership with the Exmoor National Park Authority (ENPA) has recorded a small but interesting group of features on Cosgate Hill. The earliest of these monuments take the form of three linear groups of Bronze Age borrows which can be seen to stretch from east to west across the hill. In the 13th century Cosgate was recorded as one the boundary markers of the Royal Forest Exmoor and would have acted a gateway to the summer grazing ground which lay within the Forest bounds. Sometime in the early post-medieval period Cosgate Hill was enclosed and improved for farming but map Evidence suggests that it had been abandoned and had reverted back to moor or heathland by the beginning of the 9th century. The remains of a 19th century toll gale and toll house lie next In the modern A39 road at the county, boundary between Devon and Somerset and combine with several quarries to make up the 19th century features within the survey area.
