A series of 'S' shaped banks which are crossed with pabanks are visible as earthworks on Lidar imagery. The 'S' shaped earthworks are orientated north-south and the parallel banks are orientated east-west. These earthworks are situated in a plot recorded in the tithe apportionment as Allotment Knap Down.

Horner, B., 2022, Earthworks, Knappdown, Combe Martin (Interpretation). SDV365178.

A series of 'S' shaped banks and parallel banks are visible as earthworks on Lidar imagery. The 'S' shaped earthworks are orientated north-south and the parallel banks are orientated east-west.
The 'S' curving earthworks are interpreted as either medieval field boundaries or medieval ridge and furrow. The parallel east-west banks may be earlier.
