Full description

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

A small rectangular enclosure is shown (Plot 821). Recorded as a garden on the Northlew Tithe Apportionment.

Ordnance Survey, 1880-1899, First Edition Ordnance Survey 25 inch map (Cartographic). SDV336179.

The garden was incorporated within a larger field by the time of the first edition Ordnance Survey map.

Environment Agency WMS, 2022, Environment Agency LIDAR Composite DTM 2022 - 1m (Cartographic). SDV365447.

The enclosure shows very well on LiDAR data. Although recorded as a garden on the Tithe Apportionment it is possible that it was the site of an earlier feature like a moated manor house? However, the surface quarrying visible to the south (in the area recorded as waste on the Tithe Apportionment) may have exagerated its prominence.
