HER Number:MDV125192
Name:Field Boundary northeast of Rosehill Farm, Kingskerswell

Summary

A linear earthwork bank interpreted as a relict field boundary of potential medieval date which had partly fallen out of use by the mid-19th century is visible on aerial photographs taken from 1946 onwards and on digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017.

A linear earthwork bank, circa 5.5m wide and northwest to southeast aligned, is visible on aerial photographs taken from 1946 onwards and on digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017. The south-eastern half of the earthwork corresponds with a field boundary shown in this location on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, although the remaining extent of this field boundary had evidently passed out of use by this time. The surrounding field patterns are characterised as medieval enclosures based on strip fields and the earthwork is therefore interpreted as a relict field boundary of potential medieval date which has been bisected by a later and extant field boundary.
