Full description

Earthworks of banks and a ditch 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 banks partly flanked by a ditch, between 4m to 10m wide, are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs taken in 1969 and digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017, on northwest facing slope at Singmore Farm, Newton Abbot. The northeast to southwest aligned earthworks do not correspond with any linear features shown in this location on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, or on later available historic maps, but are broadly in keeping with the historic field pattern depicted in this location. The earthworks are interpreted as relict medieval or post-medieval field boundaries which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century.
