HER Number:MDV116846
Name:Possible Field Boundary, northwest of Broadley Farm, Yarcombe

Summary

An earthwork bank of a possible medieval to 19th century field boundary is visible on aerial photographs of 1947 onwards and on digital images derived from lidar data captured in 2016, to the northwest of Broadley Farm. It appears to have passed out of use by the time of the First Edition Ordnance Survey map.

An earthwork bank of a possible medieval to 19th century field boundary is visible on aerial photographs of 1947 onwards and on digital images derived from lidar data captured in 2016, to the northwest of Broadley Farm. The possible field boundary is L-shaped in plan and appears to have passed out of use by the time of the First Edition Ordnance Survey map. The digital Parish Tithe map is incomplete here, so it is not possible to determine whether this field boundary was extant at this time. The earthwork appears to form part of a continuation of an historic field boundary to the west.
