Full description

Berry, N., 2009, Land at Compton Castle, Devon, 44 (Report - Survey). SDV347354.

Series of low stone revetted walls directing water flow in the south-west corner of the small pasture field adjacent to Love Lane. Overgrown walls directing water from the lane along the west side of the field. The water comes under the wall is directed east parallel with the wall, is joined by another streamlet over a stone waterfall. Then the stream is directed north over collapsed stone feature and on alongside the field. There is another possible earlier bank and ditch in the undergrowth to the north-west, which aligns with the first stream flowing under the wall. It would seem most is twentieth century. However there was also a possible building shown here on the 1802 map but not on later maps. Nothing remains now in this overgrown corner. Other details: Site Inventory map (1) 010.
