Full description

South West Heritage Trust, 1838-1848, Digitised Tithe Maps and Transcribed Apportionments (Cartographic). SDV359954.

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

Royal Air Force, 1946, RAF/106G/UK/1412, RAF/106G/UK/1412 RP 3001-3002 13-APR-1946 (Aerial Photograph). SDV352504.

Earthwork hollows or ditches are visible.

Environment Agency, 1998-2017, LiDAR DTM data (1m resolution) EA: South Devon Coast to Dartmoor, SDV361470 (Cartographic). SDV361470.

Earthwork hollows or 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.

Two linear hollows or ditches up to circa 7m wide and 70m long are visible on aerial photographs of 1946 and digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017.
The visible earthworks define a T-shaped feature, interpreted as the remains of former field boundaries of probable medieval to post-medieval date. They do not correspond with any boundaries depicted on the 19th century maps available to the survey and were therefore probably removed prior to circa 1840.
