Full description

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

The visible cropmarks do not correspond with any boundary depicted on the Tithe map for Kingsteignton.


Ordnance Survey, 1978, OS/78013, OS/78013 V 102-103 07-APR-1978 (Aerial Photograph). SDV362845.

Cropmarks of a ditched bank are visible.

An east to west aligned cropmark of a bank up to circa 4m wide and almost 140m long is visible on aerial photographs of 1978. The bank is flanked by cropmark evidence of narrower ditches.
They do not correspond with any boundary depicted on the 19th century maps available to the survey but are in keeping with the character of the surrounding field pattern. The cropmarks are therefore interpreted as evidence of a field boundary of probable post-medieval to 19th century date, probably removed prior to circa 1840.
