Full description
Young, A., 2005, Transcriptions from Winkleigh Biomass Plant National Mapping Programme (NMP) project (Cartographic). SDV321540.
Transcriptions of banks and ditches do not correspond to the grid reference for PRN166862, which should be at circa SX87428601.
Young, A. & Turner, S., 2005-2006, North Devon/Winkleigh Biomass Plant National Mapping Programme (NMP) project database records, PRN166862 (Interpretation). SDV358473.
A series of removed field boundaries are visible, some as cropmark banks and ditches, others as earthworks, on aerial photographs (p1) and were digitally plotted as part of the National Mapping Programme. They are forming rectilinear fields which fit into the existing field pattern. The features are sited within an area described as medieval enclosures based on strip fields in the Historic Landscape Characterisation for Devon and are probably medieval or later in origin.
