Full description

Devon County Council, 1838-1848, Tithe Mosaic, approximately 1838-1848 (Cartographic). SDV349431.

Relatively straght field boundaries are depicted in this location.

Ordnance Survey, 1880-1899, First Edition Ordnance 25 inch map (Cartographic). SDV336179.

This plot of land is depicted as rough gound.

Environment Agency, 2000-2019, LiDAR DTM data (1m resolution) EA: Tamar Aerial Survey project area, LIDAR Environment Agency LAST RETURN 19-DEC-2004 to 20-FEB-2005 (Cartographic). SDV363954.

Curvilinear earthwork banks are visible.

NERC, 2013, LiDAR DTM data (1m resolution) Tellus: Tamar Aerial Survey project area, LIDAR Tellus LAST RETURN 01-JUL-2013 to 31-AUG-2013 (Cartographic). SDV363955.

Curvilinear earthwork banks are visible.

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.

Curvilinear banks, up to approximately 8 metres wide, are visible as an earthwork on images derived from lidar data captured between 2004 and 2013. One is aligned with a field boundary recorded from aerial photographs by the Tamar Valley NMP project, and another aligned with a boundary immediately to its east. Only the earthworks not depicted on the historic maps and not already transcribed by the NMP project have been transcribed. A bank to the south, centred at circa SS2966310605, is less regular and could be geological in origin, but is relatively clearly defined so has been transcribed as another possible medieval or post-medieval relict field boundary.
