Summary

A field boundary of potential medieval date is visible as an earthwork bank on aerial photographs of 1948 and 1971, at Higher Luxton Farm, Upottery. The earthwork does not correspond with any field boundaries depicted on the Parish Tithe map of 1838-48, so had probably passed out of use by this time.

A field boundary of potential medieval date is visible as an earthwork bank on aerial photographs of 1948 and 1971, at Higher Luxton Farm, Upottery. The earthwork field boundary is gently curvilinear in shape and northeast to southwest aligned. The earthwork does not correspond with any field boundaries depicted on the Parish Tithe map of 1838-48, so had probably passed out of use by this time.
