Full description

Raymond, F., 2006, An Archaeological Desk-Based Assessment of The Newcourt Area - Lower RNSD Site and Land Alongside Old Rydon Lane and the A379, Topsham (Report - non-specific). SDV349909.

Earthwork observed which crosses the south-western end of the RNSD land. It does not correspond with any of the field boundaries on the historic maps, suggesting that it pre-dates the 1840s. A row of trees coinciding with the lynchet is however shown on the Ordnance Survey 1880s-90s First Edition map. It is possible that this line marks the position of a former field boundary that had not been removed during the earlier part of the 19th century or before.
