Full description

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

The earthworks partly correspond with field boundaries shown in this location.

Environment Agency, 1998-2017, LiDAR DTM data (1m resolution) EA: South Devon Coast to Dartmoor, LIDAR SX8067; SX8068 Environment Agency DTM 01-JAN-1998 to 31-MAY-2017 (Cartographic). SDV361470.

Linear and sinuous 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 and sinuous earthwork banks, between 8-15m in width, are visible on digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017, to the north of Levaton Farm, Woodland. The contiguous earthworks are northeast to southwest and northwest to southeast aligned and are 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 based on strip fields. Two of the earthworks correspond with linear features on this map, although the remaining earthworks are not shown. They are therefore interpreted as relict field boundaries of medieval or post-medieval date which had partly passed out of use by the mid-19th century.
