Summary

A curvilinear bank, interpreted as a relict field boundary of potential medieval date, is visible as a pale cropmark on aerial imagery taken in 2010 and as an earthwork on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2005 and 2013. The field boundary had been removed by the mid-19th century.

Hegarty, C., Houghton, E., Knight, S. and Sims, R., 2020-2021, Tamar/Lidar; A Single Source Approach to Landscape Survey and Socially Distanced Community Archaeology Area 2 (Culture Recovery Fund project) (Interpretation). SDV364011.

A curvilinear bank, circa 3 metres wide and orientated north to south, is visible as a pale cropmark on aerial imagery taken in 2010 and as an earthwork on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2005 and 2013. The earthwork does 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 is 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 it is a relict field boundary of potential medieval date which had been removed by the mid-19th century.
