Area of burgage plots shown on 19th century maps fronting the south side of the High Street in Topsham. Probably established in the late Medieval period but may have been created from Medieval open field strips. The agricultural use of the plots continued into the Post Medieval period when they were used as gardens or orchards. A cut of one of the boundary ditches between two tenement plots was identified in Pit 10 in 2006.
