A small farm with surrounding paddocks and orchards is shown on the Winkleigh Tithe Map to the south of Lashingcott Plantation and a house and court with the various small plots around it is recorded on the accompanying apportionment. None of these features are shown on the Ordnance Survey 1887 25 inch map apart from the field boundary that surrounded it.
Site visit: December 1997. The field which slops from west to east was sown to winter cereals. The fields shown on the Tithe Map and Ordnance Survey 1887 25 inch map have been removed so that the area now forms one large field. There appear to be no surface irregularities.
The site is now avoided by the proposed route of the powerline. However, further research is recommended before any construction is permitted.
Ordnance Survey, 2021, MasterMap 2021 (Cartographic). SDV364015.
The site is now within an amusement park.
