Summary

Curvilinear earthwork banks, interpreted as relict field boundaries of medieval or post-medieval date which had largely passed out of use by the mid-19th century, are visible on aerial photographs taken in 1945 and visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013.

Full description

Devon County Council, 1838-1848, Tithe Mosaic, approximately 1838-1848 (Cartographic). SDV349431.

With exception of a small section of bank, the earthworks do not correspond with any curvilinear features in this location.

Royal Air Force, 1945, RAF/106G/UK/967, RAF/106G/UK/967 RS 4139-4140 01-NOV-1945 (Aerial Photograph). SDV351060.

Curvilinear banks are visible as earthworks.

NERC, 2013, LiDAR DTM data (1m resolution) Tellus: South Devon to Dartmoor, LIDAR SX6447 Tellus DTM 01-JUL-2013 to 31-AUG-2013 (Cartographic). SDV361514.

Curvilinear banks are visible as earthworks.

Hegarty, C., Knight, S. and Sims, R., 2019-2020, The South Devon Coast to Dartmoor Aerial Investigation and Mapping Survey. Area 2, Avon Valley to Plymouth (AI&M, formerly NMP) (Interpretation). SDV362982.

Curvilinear banks, circa 5m wide and northwest to southeast and northeast to southwest aligned, are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs taken in 1945 and visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013. With exception of the short northeast to southwest aligned bank, the earthworks do not correspond with any curvilinear features shown in this location on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, or on later available historic maps, but are closely in keeping with the historic field pattern depicted in this location, which is characterised as post-medieval enclosures with medieval elements. The earthworks are therefore interpreted as relict field boundaries of medieval or post-medieval date which had largely passed out of use by the mid-19th century.
