Two Post Medieval field boundaries are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs of the 1950s to the south of Buzzacott Lane on the eastern outskirts of Combe Martin.The earthworks are centred at SS 5947 4582 on a south facing slope between Buzzacott Lane and Leigh Road. The longer of the two earthworks runs approximately north-south and measures approximately 88 metres long. The shorter boundary, which runs east west and transects the other, measures approximately 68 metres long. The boundaries are not marked on the 1st Edition Ordnance survey map of 1889, suggesting that they had gone out of use by this time. On the most recent available Ordnance Survey map they have been destroyed by modern building activity.
Ordnance Survey, 2012, MasterMap (Cartographic). SDV348725.
The site of the earthworks has been developed and modern housing now covers this area.
