| Name: | Linear banks and ditches west of Galmpton, Stoke Gabriel |
|---|
Summary
Banks and ditches have been interpreted from cropmarks on images derived from aerial photographs and earthworks on images derived from lidar data, as possible evidence of an enclosure potentially of prehistoric date to the west of Galmpton, Stoke Gabriel. The earthworks and cropmarks are probably largely natural in origin.

Full description
Devon County Council, 1838-1848, Tithe Mosaic, approximately 1838-1848 (Cartographic). SDV349431.
Plots 734 and 737 are named on the Tithe Apportionment as Caslte Break and Castle Park.
University of Exeter, 2020-2021, University of Exeter Unlocking Landscapes Project – validated data, ULDEV235 (Interpretation). SDV365999.
Various linear earthwork banks and hollows are visible across several fields, some of which bear the name element 'castle' on the parish tithe map. Cropmarks are also visible on Google Earth imagery, notably that dated 8/5/2018 where an enclosure circuit might be evident.
Environment Agency, 2021, University of Exeter Understanding Landscapes Project - Lidar visualisation (Cartographic). SDV366001.
Possible banks and ditches are visible as earthworks.
Google, 2023, Google Earth Pro (Aerial Photograph). SDV365802.
Possible banks and ditches are visible as cropmarks.
Hegarty, C., 2024, Comment on Unlocking Landscapes project interpretation (Personal Comment). SDV366085.
The possible earthworks visible on images derived from lidar data appear to follow the topography of the valley and are probably geological in origin.
