Full description
Devon County Council, 1838-1848, Tithe Mosaic, approximately 1838-1848 (Cartographic). SDV349431.
The curvilinear banks do not correspond to any depicted field boundaries, but some boundaries that are depicted on the map are parallel to the earthwork and cropmark features.
Royal Air Force, 1956, RAF/82/1451, NMR RAF/82/145 F21 0082-0083 12-JUL-1956 (Aerial Photograph). SDV349052.
Cornwall County Council, 2002, Cornwall National Mapping Programme (Archive - Survey). SDV350748.
An ordered, rectilinear linear system, 'field' size on average 94m by 109m. Visible as earthwork and cropmark banks and ditches and transcribed from aerial photographs dating to 1956. They are interpreted as the remains of field boundaries of medieval or later date.

The features are not depicted on the Tithe map and are likely to have gone out of use by the mid nineteenth century. Some are typical of medieval strip field boundaries, for instance the four parallel curvilinear banks transcribed at SS2265618367 between 9 and 11 metres apart, as well as others that are parallel to curvilinear boundaries depicted on the Tithe map. Others may have a later date.
