Full description

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

The earthworks do not correspond with any features in this location.


Environment Agency, 1998-2017, LiDAR DTM data (1m resolution) EA: South Devon Coast to Dartmoor, LIDAR SX8279 Environment Agency DTM 01-JAN-1998 to 31-MAY-2017 (Cartographic). SDV361470.

Rectilinear earthwork platforms and a curvilinear bank 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 (Interpretation). SDV361305.

Rectilinear flat-topped mounds, circa 30m long, and a curvilinear bank, circa 5m wide, are visible as earthworks on digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017, at Stickwick Farm, Bovey Tracey. The earthworks do not correspond with any features in this location on the Parish Tithe Map of the mid-19th century, or on later available historic maps. The earthworks are interpreted as evidence of possible building platforms of a former medieval or post-medieval settlement, possibly associated with Stickwick Farm (MDV15977), which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century.
