Wessex Archaeology, 2007, Historic Environment Audit of Devon County Farms. Pilot Project. Results of Nunford Dairy, Colyton (Report - Assessment). SDV338538.
Historic environment audit of Nunford Dairy undertaken by Conservation Management, a division of Wessex Archaeology, for Devon County Council. Nunford Dairy is 1 of 93 farm holdings that make up Devon County Farms Estate. The farm currently covers an area of c29.3 hectares. The field boundaries are, for the most part, those shown on the Tithe Map, although a number have disappeared since that time. The curving form of some of the hedges suggests that they were medieval enclosures formed from strip fields.
