| Name: | Field system north-east of Shillamill, Tavistock |

Summary
Curvilinear banks flanked by ditches, interpreted as relict field boundaries of a medieval or post-medieval field system, are visible as earthworks on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013 and 2016. The field boundaries had been removed by the late-19th century.

Earthworks of curvilinear banks flanked by ditches, between 7-11 metres wide and orientated north-east to south-west and north-west to south-east, are visible on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013 and 2016.
The earthworks do not correspond with any features shown on the late-19th century First Edition Ordnance Survey map, or on later available historic maps, but are in keeping with the surrounding historic field pattern which is characterised as post-medieval enclosures with medieval elements.
The earthworks are therefore interpreted as possible relict field boundaries that define several rectilinear land parcels of a medieval or post-medieval field system. The field boundaries had been removed by the late-19th century.
