Full description
South West Heritage Trust, 1838-1848, Digitised Tithe Maps and Transcribed Apportionments (Cartographic). SDV359954.
Plot 876 is listed as Snailey Madow. No internal banks corrsponding with the curvilinear earthworks are depicted.

A curvilinear bank and scarp are identifiable 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.
A curvilinear scarp and bank are visible as earthworks 3 to 5m wide and up to 70m long, on aerial photographs of 1946. The visible earthworks do not correspond with any boundaries depicted on the Tithe Map for Shaugh Prior but are aligned on doglegs or corners in the surrounding boundaries and in keeping with the character of the surrounding field pattern, characterised by HLC as medieval enclosure based on strip fields.
They are interpreted as the remains of field boundaries of probable medieval origin, removed prior to circa 1840.
The earthworks remain identifiable on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013.
