Full description

Devon County Council, 1838-1848, Tithe Mosaic, approximately 1838-1848 (Cartographic). SDV349431.

The earthworks mostly correspond with field boundaries in this location.

The earthwork field boundaries have all passed out of use.

Linear earthwork ditches and a bank are visible.

Linear ditches and a bank interpreted as relict field boundaries of between medieval to post-medieval date are visible as earthworks on digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998-2017, to the southeast of Woodlands, Hennock. The intersecting earthworks are northeast to southwest and northwest to southeast aligned and measure between 13m to 16m wide. They mostly correspond with field boundaries shown in this location on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, although two sections of ditch to the east are not shown and had evidently passed out of use by this time. Evidence of phasing of these field boundaries is visible, with the banked boundary truncating, and so post-dating, the two field boundaries to the north, although is possibly itself truncated by the longer field boundary to the south. The field boundaries have all passed out of use by the time of the First Edition Ordnance Survey map of the late 19th century.
