An ordered, curvilinear linear system, 'field' size on average 146m by 56m. Visible as cropmark ditches on aerial photographs, and interpreted as the remains of medieval field boundaries.
Knight, S., 2012, Backlog Input Element of the North Devon Coast AONB National Mapping Programme Project (Interpretation). SDV350734.
Two of the three curvilinear cropmark ditches are depicted on the Tithe map and the 1904-1906 Ordnance Survey map, presumably having fallen out of use in the twentieth century. The third appears to have become unused by the mid nineteenth century. Their layout is typical of former medieval strip field boundaries. No aerial photograph reference is attributed to this site.
