Full description

Devon County Council, 1984, DAP 3523, DAP 3523/12 05-JUL-1984 (BA) (Aerial Photograph). SDV357899.

A curvilinear cropmark is visible.

A probable former field boundary is visible on aerial photographs as a curvilinear cropmark circa 3 metres wide and 106 metres long, to the south of Up Exe Mill. The cropmark does not correspond with any boundary depicted on the Tithe Map for Rewe but does fall comfortably within the surrounding field pattern, which is probably of medieval origin. It is therefore likely that the cropmark is evidence of a field boundary that was removed before the 1840s.

Devon County Council, 2019, Google Earth Aerial Photograph Pilot Project, GE56 (Aerial Photograph). SDV363341.

(SS 93822 02086) Linears north-east of Thorveton Mill. A number of linear features through these fields are visible on the 2018 Google Earth aerial images. Some are likely to be Medieval boundaries. Boundaries depicted on the Tithe map are also evident and palaeochannels MDV64612 are also visible. (MDV29007, MDV64612, MDV110628, MDV110626).
