Full description

Cornwall Archaeological Unit, 2001-2002, Tamar Valley National Mapping Programme Transcriptions and Database Records, RAF/CPE/UK/2501/4112-3 (Interpretation). SDV346287.

The transcription of two parallel linear narrow earthwork ditches pit from aerial photographs RAF/CPE/UK/2501/4112-3 correspond closely to a database record of an cropmark field system recorded as being of ‘unknown medieval’ date overlooking the Tiddy Brook to the north-east.

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

The aerial photograph reference given in the Tamar Valley NMP transcription attributes is incomplete; the date of the photograph is not included.
The ditches were probably evidence of a catch meadow of post-medieval date.
