Full description
James, T., 2011, The South West Coast Path Unlocking our Coastal Heritage Project South Down Common Beer East Devon Results of Archaeological Investigations, 6, Fig. 2 (Report - non-specific). SDV349313.
Field system recorded as a series of lynchets in an earthwork survey undertaken as part of a programme of works for the Unlocking our Coastal Heritage project. The lynchets (sites 5-12) are between 1m and 3m high and include several contour lynchets where a natural break of slope has been enhanced by ploughing.
Several intermittent lynchets (site 20) were also recorded along the north-western edge of the survey area. Running parallel to a modern trackway they are interpreted as modern, associated with the construction of the trackway.
See report for further details.
