Full description

Cornwall Archaeological Unit, 2001-2002, Tamar Valley National Mapping Programme Transcriptions and Database Records, RAF/V17/170/0105-6 (Interpretation). SDV346287.

An earthwork ditch interpreted as a possible trackway or field boundary of unknown, but potential medieval, date is visible.


Hegarty, C., Knight, S. and Sims, R., 2016, Backlog Recording of the Tamar Valley National Mapping Programme Survey (Personal Comment). SDV359374.

The ditch does not obviously appear to form part of a former field boundary, so perhaps more likely represents a trackway of possible water channel. Only part of the photo reference is given in the transcription attributes, so the date of the photograph is not known.
