Name:Field boundaries southeast of The Laurels, North Huish

Summary

Earthworks of linear and curvilinear banks, interpreted as possible relict field boundaries of medieval or post-medieval date, are visible on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2019. The field boundaries define several rectilinear land parcels.

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.

Linear and curvilinear earthwork banks, between 3m and 6m wide and northwest to southeast and northeast to southwest aligned, are visible on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2019. The earthworks define several rectilinear enclosures of varying size. They do not correspond with any features in this location shown on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, or on later available historic maps, but are broadly in keeping with the surrounding historic field pattern, which is characterised as post-medieval enclosures. The earthworks are interpreted as possible relict field boundaries which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century.
