HER Number:MDV108605
Name:Former Field Boundary North of Higher Pirzwell

Summary

A curvilinear cropmark, visible on aerial photographs taken in 2010, is interpreted as having formed over the bank of a possible medieval field boundary that passed out of use prior to the mid-19th century. It is not visible on any other available aeria photographs so interpretation is cautious.

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

A pale curvilinear cropmark, circa 2 metres wide, is visible on aerial photographs taken in 2010. It fits into the field system and could have formed over the remains of a field boundary bank of medieval date. No field boundary is depicted in this location on the historic mapping, and any boundary here would therefore appear to have passed out of use prior to the mid-19th century. It is not visible on any other available aerial photographs and interpretation is therefore cautious.
