Summary

A probable former field boundary of possible medieval date was visible on digital images derived from lidar data of 1998 to 2014 as a shallow linear earthwork ditch on digital images derived from lidar data, on the east-facing combe slope east of Cheriton Farm, Payhembury parish.

Monument Type(s) and Dates

• FIELD BOUNDARY (Early Medieval to XIX - 1066 AD to 1840 AD (Between))

Full description

Devon County Council, 1838-1848, Tithe Mosaic, approximately 1838-1848 (Cartographic). SDV349431.

The visible earthworks partly correspond with depicted field boundaries.

Ordnance Survey, 1880-1899, First Edition Ordnance 25 inch map (Cartographic). SDV336179.

The visible earthwork does not correspond with any depicted boundary.

Royal Air Force, 1950, RAF/541/534, RAF/541/534 RP 3029-3030 30-MAY-1950 (Aerial Photograph). SDV357615.

Linear and curvilinear banks were visible as earthworks.

Environment Agency, 1998-2014, LiDAR DTM data (1m resolution), LIDAR ST0901-ST1001 Environment Agency DTM 01-JAN-1998 to 30-SEP-2014 (Cartographic). SDV359177.

The banks were not visible as earthworks.

Turner, S.C., 2005 - 2006, Devon Historic Landscape Characterisation Mapping (Cartographic). SDV349122.

The earthwork falls within a field system characterised as Barton Fields of post-medieval date.

Linear and curvilinear banks were visible as earthworks on aerial photographs of 1950, to the south of Rull Farm, Payhembury parish. The banks largely correspond with field boundaries depicted on the Tithe Map for Payhembury parish, although one is not shown. The boundaries are not shown on the Ordnance Survey First Edition 25 inch map and were therefore probably removed between circa 1840 and 1890. The boundaries enclosed an area of linear earthwork banks, evidence of a former orchard, recorded separately. The banks are not visible as earthworks on digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2014 and have therefore probably been levelled. The banks fall within a field system that has been characterised by HLC as Barton Fields of probable post-medieval date but curvilinear elements might support a slightly earlier date.
