Full description

Devon County Council, 1838-1848, Tithe Mosaic, approximately 1838-1848 (Cartographic). SDV349431.

It is unclear if the field boundary is depicted on the Butterleigh parish tithe map of approximately 1838-48, as this area is partly incomplete.


Royal Air Force, 1947, RAF/CPE/UK/1995 RP, RAF/CPE/UK/1995 RP 3124-25 13-APR-1947 (Aerial Photograph). SDV356899.

The probable former field boundary is visible as a cropmark ditch.


Hegarty, C. + Knight, S. + Sims, R., 2014-2015, East and Mid Devon River Catchments National Mapping Programme Project (Interpretation). SDV356883.

A possible former field boundary of potential medieval date is visible as a cropmark ditch on aerial photographs of 1947, to the west of East Butterleigh Cross. The linear, northwest to southeast aligned cropmark broadly respects the historic field patterns based on medieval strip fields and is closely aligned to, and may have formerly formed part of, a historic boundary to the immediate northeast. It is unclear if the field boundary is depicted on the Butterleigh parish tithe map of approximately 1838-48, as this area is incomplete. The cropmark was not visible on other aerial photographs made available to the survey.
