HER Number:MDV131321
Name:Field boundaries south of Lovehayne Farm, Southleigh

Summary

A series of parallel curvilinear field boundaries are faintly visible as earthworks on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2016. They are interpreted as medieval field boundaries that formed part of a former strip field system, and that passed out of use prior to circa 1840.

Sims, R., Knight, S. & Houghton, E., 2020-2021, East Devon AONB Lidar Assessment and Desk based Assessment (Interpretation). SDV363914.

A series of parallel curvilinear banks are faintly visible as earthworks on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2016 across several fields south of Lovehayne Farm. The banks are orientated approximately east to west and are parallel with surrounding extant and historic field boundaries. One of the banks appears to be the continuation of an extant boundary.
Further subtle banks may be situated across surrounding plots, but have not been mapped as part of the monument record.
The banks are interpreted as medieval field boundaries that formed part of a strip field system, and that passed out of use prior to circa 1840.
