Full description

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

The earthworks do not correspond with any linear or curvilinear features in this location.


Ordnance Survey, 1988, OS/88198, OS/88198 V 193-194 25-JUN-1988 (Aerial Photograph). SDV352243.

Fragmented earthworks of a single curvilinear ditch are visible.

Two linear ditches are visible as earthworks.


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.

Earthworks of two linear ditches, circa 10m wide and north to south aligned, and a single curvilinear ditch, circa 3m wide and east to west aligned, are visible on aerial photographs taken in 1988 and digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017. The earthworks do not correspond with any linear or curvilinear features shown in this location on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, or on later available historic maps, but are in keeping with the historic field pattern depicted in this location which is characterised as medieval enclosures based on strip fields. The earthworks are therefore interpreted as relict field boundaries of potential medieval date which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century.
