Name: | Field system north and north-east of Higher Edgcumbe, Milton Abbot |

Summary
A series of parallel curvilinear banks are visible as earthworks on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013 north and north-east of Higher Edgcumbe. They are interpreted as medieval field boundaries that formed a strip field system, and that passed out of use by the mid-19th century.

Hegarty, C., Knight, S. and Sims, R., 2020-2021, Tamar/Lidar; A Single Source Approach to Landscape Survey and Socially Distanced Community Archaeology Area 1 (AI&M project) (Interpretation). SDV363945.
A series of parallel curvilinear banks between circa 7 and 20 metres in width are visible as earthworks on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013. The banks are situated across several south facing fields north and north-east of Higher Edgcumbe.
The banks do not correspond to any features depicted on the available historic maps. The historic landscape is characterised as post-medieval enclosures with medieval elements.
The banks are interpreted as medieval field boundaries that formed a strip field system, and that passed out of use by the mid-19th century. A ditch cutting through several banks aligns with a depicted field boundary and is interpreted to be of post-medieval origin.
Transcriptions have been cut short to the north due to unavailable lidar data.
Understanding Landscapes Project, 2020-2021, University of Exeter Understanding Landscapes Project - Volunteer data, 426.08 (DS) and 426.8 (AP) (Interpretation). SDV363949.
Feature identified by two volunteers. 427.08 (DS): ‘3 fields to the north of the village which were once divided into 7 fields all form part of a large field system of strips with the field divisions of varying age. SX404798’, and 426.8 (AP): ‘Medieval fields confirmed’
