Full description

Cornwall Archaeological Unit, 2001-2002, Tamar Valley National Mapping Programme Transcriptions and Database Records, MAL\127\71/042-3 (Interpretation). SDV346287.

Two curvilinear earthwork banks and an area of ridge and furrow earthworks were recorded from aerial photograph MAL\127\71/042-3. The ridge and furrow covers an area of circa 0.4ha. The banks to the east are 2 to 3 metres wide and 9 to 12 metres apart. They may be further ridge and furrow banks or strip field boundaries. The ridge and furrow and curvilinear banks each correspond to a database record with unkown to medieval date ascribed.
