Several curvilinear banks orientated east to west and north-west to south-east are visible as earthworks on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2005. The banks are situated across two south facing fields north of Coombe Farm.
The banks do not correspond with any features depicted on the available historic maps. The historic landscape is characterised as ‘post-medieval enclosures with medieval elements’.
The banks are interpreted as field boundaries of medieval to post-medieval origin that passed out of use by the mid-19th century.
Understanding Landscapes Project, 2020-2021, University of Exeter Understanding Landscapes Project - Volunteer data, 404.11 (Interpretation). SDV363949.
One of the banks has been interpreted as a former ridge/boundary.
