The remains of a possible medieval field system are visible on aerial photos (p1). It appears as a ditch running N-S for 120m, with field boundaries sitting perpendicular to it on both sides, roughly 12m apart. The features are sited within an area described as ‘Barton’ fields for Devon’s Historic Landscape Characterisation. Their size and layout however suggests that they are earlier; perhaps the remains of a medieval strip field system. They have been digitally plotted as part of the National Mapping Programme.
