HER Number:MDV126623
Name:Enclosure or trackway in Crook Plantation, Bicton

Summary

A possible enclosure is suggested by a circular trackway or boundary bank shown on the 19th century Tithe Map which is also visible as an earthwork on LiDAR imagery. A tree ring is also shown and it may, therefore, be part of more recent landscaping than the remnants of an earlier earthwork. It is shown as a trackway on the 1880s-1890s Ordnance Survey map.
