Full description

University of Exeter, 2020-2021, University of Exeter Unlocking Landscapes Project – validated data, ULDEV124 (Interpretation). SDV365999.

East Stoodleigh Barton is a historic farm with standing elements dating to at least the 17th C. LiDAR shows various earthworks, including a holloway approaching the site from the SW, and possible settlement-related earthworks to east and southeast, which appear to predate the Barton complex. Could this be a shrunken or much altered medieval settlement?

Linear banks, ditches and a possible hollow way are visible as earthworks.
