Summary

Linear and curvilinear earthwork ditches and banks interpreted as relict medieval or post-medieval field boundaries which had largely passed out of use by the mid-19th century are visible on aerial photographs taken from 1965 onwards and on digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017.

Linear earthwork banks and ditches 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 curvilinear earthwork ditches part flanked by banks, both circa 8m wide and north to south and east to west aligned, are visible on aerial photographs taken from 1965 onwards and on digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017. The western curvilinear ditch corresponds with a field boundary shown in this location on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, although the remaining earthworks are not shown on this map, or on later available historic maps. The surrounding historic field pattern depicted in this location is characterised as medieval enclosures based on strip fields and the earthworks are therefore interpreted as relict field boundaries of medieval or post-medieval date which had largely passed out of use by the mid-19th century.
