Summary

Former field boundaries potentially of medieval to 19th century date were visible on aerial photographs of 1946 and digital images derived from lidar data captured in 2005 as shallow earthwork ditches and banks to the north of Tillhouse Farm, Broadclyst. The former boundaries probably survive as shallow and subtle earthworks.

Former field boundaries potentially of medieval to 19th century date were visible on aerial photographs of 1946 and digital images derived from lidar data captured in 2005 as shallow earthwork ditches and banks to the north of Tillhouse Farm, Broadclyst.
The visible earthworks correspond in part to field boundaries depicted on the Tithe Map for Broadclyst, although some elements were not depicted and had probably passed out of use prior to this date. The relict boundaries are not depicted on the Ordnance Survey first edition 25 inch map and were probably removed following the coming of the railway by the mid-1880s which, by cutting through fields probably made the resultant small parcels of land uneconomical. The former boundaries probably survive as shallow and subtle earthworks.
