Summary

Earthworks of linear and curvilinear banks, interpreted as relict field boundaries of a medieval field system, are visible on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013. The field boundaries had been removed by the mid-19th century.

Full description

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

The earthworks do not correspond with any linear or curvilinear features in this location.

NERC, 2013, LiDAR DTM data (1m resolution) Tellus: South Devon to Dartmoor, LIDAR SX5264; SX5364 Tellus DTM 01-JUL-2013 to 31-AUG-2013 (Cartographic). SDV361514.

Linear and curvilinear banks are visible as earthworks.

Earthworks of linear and curvilinear banks, between 5m and 14m wide and northeast to southwest and northwest to southeast aligned are visible on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013. The earthworks partly define several rectilinear enclosures up to 100m long. They do not correspond with any linear or curvilinear features in this location on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, or on later available historic maps, but are in keeping with the historic field pattern depicted in this location, which is characterised as medieval enclosures based on strip fields. The earthworks are therefore interpreted as relict field boundaries of a medieval field system which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century.
