Full description

Devon County Council, 1838-1848, Tithe Mosaic, approximately 1838-1848 (Cartographic). SDV349431.

The former field boundary appears to have passed out of use by the time of the Kentisbeare parish tithe map of approximately 1838-48.

Environment Agency, 1998-2012, LiDAR DSM data JPEG image (1m resolution), LIDAR ST0406, ST0406 Environment Agency DSM 19-DEC-2005-05-MAR-2010 (Cartographic). SDV357034.

The former field boundary is visible as a linear earthwork ditch.

A possible former field boundary of potential medieval date is visible as an earthwork ditch on digital images derived from Lidar data captured between 2005-2010, to the southwest of Horn Cross. The broad, linear earthwork ditch is northeast to southwest aligned and broadly respects the historic field patterns and possibly forms part of a continuation of a historic boundary to the south. The earthwork ditch appears, however, to have passed out of use by the time of the Kentisbeare parish tithe map of approximately 1838-48. Other adjacent earthwork ditches were also visible on Lidar images, although these correspond to historic field boundaries and so were not transcribed. The possible former field boundary was not clearly visible on other aerial photographs made available to the survey which is possibly due to the shallow and diffuse nature of the earthwork.
