Full description
Foster, K. + Skinner, R., 01/2016, A30 to A303 Honiton to Devonshire Inn Improvement Scheme, Honiton, Devon, 20 (Report - Assessment). SDV359378.
DBA undertaken along a corridor associated with the A30/A303 between Honiton and Devonshire Inn. This study is intended to inform the development of options for improvements to the A30/A303 between Honiton and Devonshire Inn.
The walkover survey identified numerous banks and lynchets across the Site. These are depicted on Figures 7-9 (Plate 16). Most of these earthworks relate to historic field layoutsand many probably date from the medieval period representing headlands between the furlongs of former open fields or accumulations of soil on slopes at the edge of a ploughed area. Others may be later representing late medieval or post-medieval boundaries removed as fields were amalgamated in later periods. Some may represent the remains of premedieval field systems however there are none which do not respect the modern layout suggesting that they are all medieval or later.
