Full description

Cornwall Archaeological Unit, 2001-2002, Tamar Valley National Mapping Programme Transcriptions and Database Records, RAF 540/226/F10/5100-1 (Interpretation). SDV346287.

A trackway ditch of unknown, but potential medieval, date is visible on aerial photographs.

It is also possible that this feature forms part of a possible post-medieval to modern water channel of catch meadow gutter, particularly as it appears to respect the contours here and appears to diverge from a water course at its northern extent.
