Summary

Linear earthwork banks interpreted as relict field boundaries of a possible medieval land parcel which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century are visible on digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017, to the west of Ingsdon Manor, Ilsington.

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.

Environment Agency, 1998-2017, LiDAR DTM data (1m resolution) EA: South Devon Coast to Dartmoor (Cartographic). SDV361470.

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 wide, are visible on digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017, to the west of Ingsdon Manor, Ilsington. The earthworks are north to south and east to west aligned and form part of a rectilinear enclosure, circa 200m long by 40m wide. They do not correspond with any linear features in this location on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, or later available historic maps, and do not obviously respect the historic field pattern depicted in this location characterised as post-medieval enclosures with medieval elements. They are therefore interpreted as possible relict medieval field boundaries forming a land parcel which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century.
