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

Former field boundaries of potential medieval date onwards are visible as a series of earthwork ditches on aerial photographs of 1946 onwards, at Halberton. The linear and curvilinear earthworks are broadly north to south and east to west aligned and closely respect the historic field patterns depicted on the parish tithe map of approximately 1838-48. The former boundary which defines the southern extent of the earthworks is clearly defined on the parish tithe map, whilst that to the west appears to be of modern date and is first depicted on the First Edition Ordnance Survey map of between the 1880’s-90’s. The remaining boundaries appear, however, to have passed out of use by the time of historical mapping. The former field boundaries remain visible on digital images derived from Lidar data captured between 2005 and 2010.
