Full description
South West Heritage Trust, 1838-1848, Digitised Tithe Maps and Transcribed Apportionments (Cartographic). SDV359954.
The visible cropmarks do not correspond with any boundaries depicted on the Tithe map for Chudleigh.
Ordnance Survey, 1880-1899, First Edition Ordnance 25 inch map (Cartographic). SDV336179.
The visible cropmarks do not correspond with any boundaries depicted on the S 1880s First Edition map, but do match tree alignments.
Ordnance Survey, 1984, OS/84170, OS/84170 V 056-057 04-JUL-1984 (Aerial Photograph). SDV352491.
Linear cropmarks of ditches are visible.
Hegarty, C., Knight, S. and Sims, R., 2018-2019, The South Devon Coast to Dartmoor Aerial Investigation and Mapping Survey. Area 1, Haldon Ridge to Dart Valley (AI&M) (Interpretation). SDV361305.
Two slight cropmarks of narrow curvilinear banks are visible on aerial photographs of 1984 on the west facing combe slopes south west of Lower Dunscombe Farm, Chudleigh.
Less than 2m wide and over 110m long, the cropmarks do not correspond with any boundaries depicted on the 19th century maps available to the survey, but do match tree alignments depicted on the Ordnance Survey First Edition 25 inch map, probable evidence of former hedgerow planting. The cropmarks are interpreted as the remains of former field boundaries, possibly of medieval to post-medieval origin, that were removed prior to circa 1840.
