Full description

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

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

There are scattered trees in the fields to the east of Pound.


Environment Agency, 1998-2017, LiDAR DTM data (1m resolution) EA: South Devon Coast to Dartmoor, LIDAR SX5068 Environment Agency DTM 01-JAN-1998 to 31-MAY-2017 (Cartographic). SDV361470.

Numerous individual and conjoined curvilinear and linear earthwork banks and ditches are visible.


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.

Numerous broad curvilinear earthwork banks and ditches, up to approximately 10 metres wide, are visible on visualisations of lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017 in parkland to the west of Pound. They do not correspond to field boundaries depicted on the Tithe maps, but do correspond in part to trees depicted on the late-19th century mapping, and are interpreted as the remains of medieval field boundaries predating the parkland. They are not clearly visible on aerial photographs, and are likely to be very shallow.
