HER Number:MDV128001
Name:Field boundary at Folletts Farm, Diptford

Summary

Two earthwork banks, interpreted as forming part of a single curvilinear field boundary of potential medieval date, are visible on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013. The field boundary had partly fallen 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, although a section of field boundary is shown in between the two earthworks.

NERC, 2013, LiDAR DTM data (1m resolution) Tellus: South Devon to Dartmoor, LIDAR SX7353 Tellus DTM 01-JUL-2013 to 31-AUG-2013 (Cartographic). SDV361514.

Two earthwork banks are visible.

Two earthwork banks, circa 6m wide, are visible on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013. The earthworks do not correspond with any features in this location on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, or on later available historic maps, although a section of field boundary is shown in between the two banks, suggesting they form part of the same feature. The earthworks are therefore interpreted as forming part of a single curvilinear field boundary of potential medieval date which had partly fallen out of use by the mid-19th century.
