Monument Number 33105
Hob Uid: 33105
Location : Devon Torridge Abbotsham
Grid Ref : SS4230025600
Summary : Tower (rems.) uncertain location
More information : The remains of a keep or watch tower, supposed to be the work of the ancient Britons, lies two miles from Bideford on the road to Hartland (The 2nd mile-post from Bideford is at SS 42332567). Davidson amassed a quantity of information from various sources for which there is no substantiating evidence. There is nothing to be seen in the vicinity of the second milestone from Bideford, but it is possible he was referring to the old windmill site (SS 42 NW 15) nearby. (1-2)
