Name:Field Boundaries south of Middle Rocombe, Stokeinteignhead

Summary

Two curvilinear earthwork ditches, visible on aerial photographs taken from 1946 and on digital images visualised from photogrammetrically derived elevation data captured in 2015, are tentatively interpreted as the remains of medieval field boundary banks that had fallen out of use by the mid-19th century.

Two curvilinear earthwork ditches, up to circa 9 metres wide, are partially visible on aerial photographs taken from 1946 onwards, particularly clearly on Google Earth imagery dating to 2014, and on digital images visualised from photogrammetrically derived elevation data captured in 2015. They manifest in a similar way to removed field boundaries depicted on the tithe map, in an area of enclosures characterised as medieval in origin. They are interpreted as field boundaries that fell out of use by the mid-19th century.
