Notes: Eric Hemery (1983) says of the Throwleigh Common settlement: “The settlement is now more overgrown than in Crossing’s day – despite swaling, as Tom Endacott of Clannaborough remarked to me; the most massive of the huts appears to have been built up and reinforced during, perhaps, medieval times for use as a small pound. The suggestion is certainly supported by its traditional name among the moormen, ‘Roundy Pound’.”

Tim Sandles gives SX 6582 9028, although this is thought to be an estimate. Max Piper believes it to be at SX 65853 90672.
