Full description
Buck, C., 2006, Gawton Mine, Devon: Archaeological Assessment, 24 (Report - Assessment). SDV344672.
Hedge from a point east of Sheepridge Farm, along the side of the upper edge of the valley for a length of approximately 1500 metres to Whim Shaft. This hedge may well have been an old top of valley side boundary, separating the wooded hillslope of the valley from Morwell Down to the east. The hedge is approximately 1 metre high in places and 1 metre wide, and its condition varies considerably along its length, with forestry access routes having been cut along some of its route and removing evidence for its location. Other details: Figure 35, site 3. Map object based on this Source.
Buck, C., 2010, George & Charlotte Mine, Morwell, Devon: Archaeological Assessment, 40 (Report - Assessment). SDV345606.
An old hedge line shown on an 18th century map, which formerly marked the boundary between Morwell Down and the steep Tamar Valley woodland. It is highly likely that mining operations and the construction of mine access tracks, followed by mining closure, resulted in land to the east of the hedge line (within the study area), being cultivated with woodland. Other details: Figures 7-10, 18: site 28.
