Name: | Field system at Lower Campsdown Plantation, Woodleigh |

Summary
Earthworks of curvilinear banks interpreted as field boundaries of a possible relict medieval field system are visible on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013. The field system had passed out of use 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 features in this location.

Earthworks of curvilinear banks and two irregularly shaped hollows are visible.

Curvilinear earthwork banks, circa 6m wide and northeast to southwest and northwest to southeast aligned, are visible on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013. The earthworks occupy an area of circa 6.8 hectares and define a series of partial rectilinear land parcels, up to 80m in length. Two adjoining sub-oval enclosures, circa 44m long by 23m wide, with irregularly shaped internal hollows, are visible to the west at circa SX73255221. The earthworks do not correspond with any curvilinear features shown on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, or on later available historic maps, but are in keeping with the surrounding historic field pattern, 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. The two enclosures to the west are interpreted as possible pounds associated with this field system.
