Full description

South West Heritage Trust, 1838-1848, Digitised Tithe Maps and Transcribed Apportionments (Cartographic). SDV359954.

The Tithe Map shows this area covered with a series of fields between a track to the north-east and the River Dart to the south-west, divided by a narrow strip of woodland. Plot numbers 1678, 1679, 1681, 1898-1901.


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

The late 19th century historic map shows the fields have been altered and four larger plots created by the removal of some of the boundaries.


Ordnance Survey, 2017, MasterMap (Cartographic). SDV359962.

Modern map shows this area is now mostly wooded. A modern cottage (Blackmoor Cottage) has also been built on the land.
