Full description
Ordnance Survey, 1880-1899, First Edition Ordnance 25 inch map (Cartographic). SDV336179.
The visible earthworks do not correspond with a boundary depicted on the Ordnance Survey 1880s 25inch First Edition map.
Royal Air Force, 1946, RAF/CPE/UK/1890, Devon County Council RAF/CPE/UK/1890 FS 2191-2192 10-DEC-1946 (Aerial Photograph). SDV169268.
A bank is visble as a subtle earthwork.
Environment Agency, 2019, National Lidar Programme, LIDAR Environment Agency DTM 25-FEB-2019 (Cartographic). SDV363691.
A ditched bank is 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 ditched bank circa 4m wide and 93m long is visible as a subtle earthwork on aerial photographs of 1946 and visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2019, circa 100m south west of Upton Farm.
The visible earthworks do not correspond with any boundary depicted on the Ordnance Survey 1880s 25inch First Edition map but are in keeping with the character of the surrounding post-medieval enclosure. They also appear to overlay the remains of possible earlier extractive pits or quarries, recorded separately.
The bank is probably the remains of a field boundary of post-medieval date that was removed prior to circa 1880.
