Summary
Numerous linear and curvilinear earthwork banks and ditches, visible on images derived from lidar data captured in 2013, are interpreted as the relict boundaries of a medieval field system around Galmpton. Many seem to have fallen out of use by the mid-19th century.

Curvilinear and linear earthwork banks and ditches are visible.

Numerous linear and curvilinear earthwork banks and ditches, some up to 16 metres wide, are visible on digital images derived from lidar data captured in 2013. They fit into the surrounding field system as depicted on the Tithe map, and are interpreted as the plough-spread remains of the boundaries of a medieval field system.
Only features that do not correspond with field boundaries depicted on the Tithe map have been transcribed, and these had presumably gone out of use by the mid-19th century.
