South West Heritage Trust, 1838-1848, Digitised Tithe Maps and Transcribed Apportionments (Cartographic). SDV359954.
The visible earthworks do not correspond with any boundary depicted on the Tithe Map for Cornwood. The boundaries might have been associated with a house or small farm depicted immediately to the north-east.
Ordnance Survey, 1880-1899, First Edition Ordnance 25 inch map (Cartographic). SDV336179.
The visible earthworks do not correspond with any boundary depicted on the Ordnance Survey 1880s 25inch First Edition map. The house or small farm immediately to the north-east has contracted or shrunk in size and associated boundaries have been removed.

Linear banks are visible as earthworks on the south-east facing slopes immediately north of Yondertown, Cornwood on digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017.
The banks are interpreted as probable relict field boundaries. The visible earthworks do not correspond with any boundaries depicted on the Tithe Map for Cornwood but are in keeping with the character of the surrounding field pattern. Any boundaries in this location were therefore removed prior to circa 1840, possibly for the creation of an orchard.
It is possible that the relict boundaries Were associated with a house or small farm immediately to the north-east, which was cleared between circa 1840 and 1880.
