Hegarty, C. + Knight, S. + Sims, R., 2014-2015, East and Mid Devon River Catchments National Mapping Programme Project (Interpretation). SDV356883.
Former field boundaries were visible on aerial photographs as linear and curvilinear cropmarks of buried ditches in the floodplain of the River Exe to the south-west of Stoke Canon. The boundaries were visible variously as cropmarks of single ditches and double ditches.
Many of the cropmarks correspond with slightly curved field boundaries depicted on the Tithe Map for Stoke Canon. These might preserve the line of former strip field boundaries of medieval origin that were enclosed in the post-medieval period. The western edge of the boundaries was truncated by the route of the railway in the 19th century.
Many of the aerial photographs consulted by the survey are copies of DAPs held by the Historic England Archive. In some cases these have been recorded as separate sources. This is because variations in the way the prints have been processed could result in images on which archaeological features are visible to a greater or lesser degree.
