Summary

Curvilinear banks are visible as earthworks on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2005 and 2013 in a south-east facing field adjacent to a former chapel south-east of Dunterton. The banks are interpreted as medieval to post-medieval field boundaries of a possible curvilinear enclosure associated with the chapel.

Curvilinear banks between circa 6 and 12 metres in width are visible as earthworks on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2005 and 2013. The banks are situated in a south-east facing field adjacent to a former chapel (MDV2691) south-east of Dunterton.
The banks partially correspond to curvilinear field boundaries depicted on historic maps. The historic landscape has been characterised as ‘medieval enclosures’.
The banks are faintly visible on aerial photographs captured between 2005 and 2010.
The banks are interpreted as medieval to post-medieval field boundaries of a possible curvilinear enclosure associated with the chapel, that largely passed out of use prior to circa 1840.

Understanding Landscapes Project, 2020-2021, University of Exeter Understanding Landscapes Project - Volunteer data, 403.7 (Interpretation). SDV363949.

The earthworks have been interpreted as a circular enclosure.
