Summary

Two former field boundaries of probable post-medieval date are visible as earthwork ditches on aerial photographs of the 1940s onwards and digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017, on the floodplain west of the River Teign.

The visible earthworks do not correspond with any boundaries depicted on the Tithe map for Teigngrace.

A linear ditch is visible as a subtle earthwork.

Linear ditches are visible as subtle earthworks.

Linear ditches are visible as subtle 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.

Two ditched banks are visible as on aerial photographs of 1946 and digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017 as parallel earthworks approximately 3m wide and up to circa 3m apart, crossing the floodplain west of the River Teign for just over 200m.
The visible earthworks are interpreted as the remains of a field boundary of probable post-medieval to 19th century date. They do not correspond with any boundary depicted on the 19th century maps available to the survey and were therefore probably removed prior to circa 1840. A pond, possibly a former extractive pit bisects the linear earthworks approximately halfway along their length.
