Five parallel linear banks up to 2.5m wide and 70m long are clearly visible as earthworks on aerial photographs of 1984 on the south-east facings slopes north-west of Parr’s Lane, Chudlegh. Cropmark evidence supports the interpretation that they were flanked by narrow ditches. The visible features do not correspond with any field boundaries depicted on the 19th century maps available to the survey but are in keeping with the character of the surrounding post-medieval field pattern. The field boundaries were therefore probably removed prior to circa 1840.
