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 1 (AI&M project) (Interpretation). SDV363945.
A series of curvilinear banks mostly orientated north-east to south-west are visible as earthworks on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2019. The banks are situated within the steep east sloping Blindwell Wood and Whittacliffe Wood, on the west bank of the River Tavy north of Lopwell.
The banks do not correspond with any features derived from the available historic maps. Most are situated within plots recorded as woodland, with some banks extending into plots to the east and south-east recorded as gardens in the Tithe Apportionment.
The area is shown as being under continuous woodland cover in subsequent historic and modern maps. The historic landscape is characterised as ancient woodland.
Extractive activity is recorded to the north-east, east and south-west (MDV43151; MDV12629; MDV53150 and MDV53151). Further field boundaries are recorded within woodland to the north.
The banks are interpreted as field boundaries of medieval to post-medieval origin, that passed out of use prior to 1840.
