HER Number:MDV112757
Name:Probable Relict Boundary North-East of Peamore House

Summary

A linear earthwork ditch, visible on aerial photographs taken from 1946 and on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2012, may be the remains of a former field boundary of post-medieval origin that fell out of use prior to the mid-19th century.

A linear earthwork ditch, circa 8 metres in width, is visible on aerial photographs taken from 1946 and on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2012. It is located in parkland north-east of Peamore House, and may therefore be the remains of a field boundary that became disused when the designed landscape was created. Its straight alignment would suggest a post-medieval date, and any boundary here was presumably disused by the mid-19th century, since none is depicted in this location on the Tithe map.
