Full description

Cornwall Archaeological Unit, 2001-2002, Tamar Valley National Mapping Programme Transcriptions and Database Records (Interpretation). SDV346287.

A narrow ditch and three more substantial linear banks have been transcribed from photographs F21/58/2775/105, 106G/1190/4281, F22/58/5095/12 and 540/483/3344. They correspond to the record of a linear field system of 'unknown medieval' date visible as earthworks on the project database.

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

Only part of the photo reference is given in the transcription attributes, so the dates of the photographs are not known. Two correspond to field boundaries extant in the 1940s.
