| Name: | Field system at Heathfield Barton, Loddiswell |

Summary
Curvilinear earthwork banks, interpreted as possible relict field boundaries of a medieval field system, are visible on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013. The possible field system had passed out of use by the mid-19th century.

Full description
Devon County Council, 1838-1848, Tithe Mosaic, approximately 1838-1848 (Cartographic). SDV349431.
The earthworks do not correspond with any curvilinear features in this location.

Curvilinear banks are visible as earthworks.

Curvilinear earthwork banks, circa 8m wide and northwest to southeast and northeast to southwest aligned, are visible on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013. The earthworks define several rectilinear land parcels which measure up to 60m long and between 10m and 20m wide. They do not correspond with any curvilinear features shown in this location on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, or on later available historic maps, although are in keeping with the surrounding historic field pattern, which is characterised as medieval enclosures. The earthworks are therefore interpreted as possible relict field boundaries of a medieval field system which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century.
