Summary
East linnacombe farm. Lonecomb(e) is documented in 1333 and 1345 (mawer et al). Entrance to east linnacombe appears to respect the sourton down field system (sx59sw/3) which may be medieval or post-medieval in date. The north part of sourton down is called east linnacombe down on the tithe map. The field system may represent periodic outfield cultivation of moorland associated with linnacombe (balkwill).
