| Name: | Ploughed out enclosure, Chagford |

Summary
This possible enclosure was recorded by the Royal Commission in the Dartmoor Aerial Photograph Project (1985). Visited during the 1990 survey visit. Appears to match the former field boundaries depicted on the Ordnance Survey 1:2500 scale map (dated 1952) as measuring roughly 20m E-W by 25m. It has recently been destroyed and the area is now part of a much larger ploughed field.
