Summary
Three parallel curvilinear banks are visible as subtle earthworks on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013 and 2019 north-east of Bere Alston. The earthworks are interpreted as field boundaries of medieval to post-medieval origin that passed out of use by the mid-19th century.

Three parallel curvilinear banks between circa 3 and 8 metres in width and circa 80 metres in length are visible as subtle earthworks on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013 and 2019. The banks are orientated approximately north to south in a north facing field north-east of Bere Alston.
The banks do not correspond to any features depicted on the available historic maps, however they are parallel with adjacent depicted field boundaries. The historic landscape is characterised as ‘post-medieval enclosures’
The earthworks are interpreted as field boundaries of medieval to post-medieval origin that passed out of use by the mid-19th century.
