Full description

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

The visible earthworks correspond with field boundaries depicted on the Tithe map for Combeinteignhead.


Ordnance Survey, 1880-1899, First Edition Ordnance 25 inch map (Cartographic). SDV336179.

The visible earthworks do not correspond with any boundaries depicted on the OS 1880s First Edition 25inch map.


Ordnance Survey, 1986, OS/86246, OS/86246 V 1053-1054 15-OCT-1986 (Aerial Photograph). SDV352106.

A curvilinear ditch and linear bank are visible as earthworks.

A curvilinear ditch is visible as an earthwork.


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 (Interpretation). SDV361305.

A curvilinear hollow or ditch up to circa 11m wide and 105m long is visible as an earthwork on the north-east facing slopes to the south of Sackery, Combeinteignhead, on aerial photographs of 1946. A bank circa 5m wide and 50m long projects from the north-west side of the ditch.
The visible earthworks correspond with field boundaries depicted on the Tithe Map for Combeinteignhead, but not the Ordnance Survey First Edition 25inch map.
The visible earthworks are interpreted as the plough spread remains of field boundaries of possible medieval or post-medieval origin that were cleared between circa 1840 and 1880. The earthworks remain visible on digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017.
