Summary

A former field boundary of potential medieval date is visible as an earthwork bank on aerial photographs of 1947 onwards, to the west of Lower Pithayne Farm. Earthwork banks remain partly visible here on digital images derived from lidar data captured in 2016.

A former field boundary of potential medieval date is visible as an earthwork bank on aerial photographs of 1947 onwards, to the west of Lower Pithayne Farm. The curvilinear boundary is broadly northeast to southwest aligned. It is unclear whether this boundary was extant at the time of the Parish Tithe Map or not, as it appears to be largely un-surveyed here. The boundary has, however, passed out of use by the time of the First Edition Ordnance survey map. The Historic Landscape Characterisation project classifies this area as ‘Medieval enclosures based on strip fields’. The boundary is clearly visible as an earthwork bank on aerial photographs of 1996, although digital images derived from lidar data captured in 2016 show only the southwest extent of this earthwork, suggesting the remainder of the former field boundary has since been levelled. An additional short section of bank was, however, visible on lidar images flanking this bank.
