Full description

An earthwork enclosure of a tennis court is visible on aerial photographs.


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

It is not known why this tennis court was recorded during this survey, and would not normally be recorded as part of the standard NMP methodology. It was, however, recorded so as not to be confused as an archaeological or historically important feature. Only part of the photo reference is given in the transcription attributes, so the date of the photographs is not known.
