Full description

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

Although suggested to be a trackway by the 2015 geophysical survey, the tithe map indicates former field boundaries in the approximate location of the feature.

Dean, R., 2015, An Archaeological Gradiometer Survey: Land to the Northwest of Forches Cross, Newton Abbot, Devon (Report - Geophysical Survey). SDV358153.

This report was commissioned by SLR Consulting Ltd on behalf of Devon County Council Engineering Design Group as part of a forthcoming application. The magnetic contrast across the area was sufficient to be able to differentiate between anomalies representing possible archaeological features and background magnetic responses.

Anomaly groups 81 and 97 are most likely to represent two ditched tracks or roads with possible metalling in places or, less likely, former two Devon bank field boundaries.
