| Name: | Field system west of Clawton, Clawton Parish |
|---|
Summary
Curvilinear banks, interpreted as relict field boundaries of a possible medieval strip field system, are visible as dark cropmarks on 1940s aerial photographs and as earthworks on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013. The field system had passed out of use by the mid-19th century.

Curvilinear banks, circa 9 metres wide and orientated north-west to south-east, are visible as dark cropmarks on 1940s aerial photographs and as earthworks on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013.
The earthworks do not correspond with any curvilinear features shown in this location on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, or on later available historic maps, but are closely in keeping with the surrounding historic field pattern, which is characterised as medieval enclosures based on strip fields.
The form of the earthwork supports the interpretation that they are field boundaries of a possible medieval strip field system which had been removed by the mid-19th century.
