Summary

Several curvilinear earthwork banks, visible on aerial photographs taken from 1951 and on digital images visualised from photogrammetrically derived elevation data captured in 2015, are interpreted as the remains of medieval field boundaries that went out of use before the mid-19th century.

Several curvilinear earthwork banks, between 2 and 10 metres wide, are visible on aerial photographs taken from 1951 onwards and on digital images visualised from photogrammetrically derived elevation data captured in 2015. They fit into the surrounding field pattern and are interpreted as the remains of former field boundaries; their curvilinear shape indicates a likely medieval origin. Only those that are not depicted on the available 19th century mapping have been transcribed, and these are likely to have gone out of use by the mid-19th century. It is possible that they were abandoned when the parkland around Haccombe House was laid out. Their relationship to the deerpark (MDV71486) is not clear from the available information.
