Full description

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

The earthworks do not correspond with any linear features in this location.

Earthwork banks are visible.


Hegarty, C., Knight, S. and Sims, R., 2018-2019, The South Devon Coast to Dartmoor Aerial Investigation and Mapping Survey. Area 1, Haldon Ridge to Dart Valley (AI&M) (Interpretation). SDV361305.

Linear earthwork banks, circa 8m in width, are visible on digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017, to the northeast of Torbryan, Denbury and Torbryan. The two earthworks form part of a single northeast to southwest aligned linear feature which is in keeping with the historic field pattern depicted in this location on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map which is characterised as medieval enclosures. The earthworks do not correspond with any linear features shown on this map, or on subsequent available historic maps and they are therefore interpreted as a relict medieval or post-medieval field boundary which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century.
