Full description
Ordnance Survey, 1880-1899, First Edition Ordnance 25 inch map (Cartographic). SDV336179.
Curvilinear enclosure visible, divided into six plots.
Green, T., 2000, Early Enclosures in a Landscape of Dispersed Settlement: An Examination of Patterns Detected in the Field Boundaries of North Devon and West Somerset, 58 (Post-Graduate Thesis). SDV347809.
In many cases, the name is convincingly descriptive of the topography. The enclosure of Great Potheridge, 'Porriga' in 1086, straddles a ridge, while the settlement nestles, well watered, at the head of a south-east facing combe below. Map object based on this Source.
Ordnance Survey, 2011, MasterMap (Cartographic). SDV346129.
Minor changes in the area of the farmstead, otherwise division of fields remain the same as shown on the Ordnance Survey 1880s-1890s First Edition map. Map object based on this Source.
