| Name: | Field boundaries south of Newacott, Bridgerule |

Summary
Curvilinear and linear ditches, interpreted as relict field boundaries of potential medieval origin, are visible as subtle earthworks on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2004 and 2013. The field boundaries had probably passed out of use by the mid-19th century.

Curvilinear and linear ditches, circa 12m wide and northeast to southwest and northwest to southeast aligned, are visible as subtle earthworks on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2004 and 2013.
The contiguous earthworks do not correspond with any 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 interpreted as possible relict field boundaries of potential medieval origin which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century.
