Summary

Two former field boundaries were recorded as curving linear anomalies in a geophysical survey on land to the south of Yelland Quay. The field boundaries are depicted on the Tithe Map on either side of a narrow field. One of the boundaries had gone by the time of the 1880s-1890s Ordnance Survey map.

Full description

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

Curving field boundaries on either side of a long, narrow field (Plot 2135). The field is named as Lower Moor on the accompanying Fremington Tithe Apportionment.

The eastern boundary is no longer shown but the western boundary is still extant, as a stream.

A geophysical survey carried out across four fields to the south of Yelland Quay identified 22 groups of anomalies. These were predominantly linear ditch and/or bank boundary features associated phases of the existing and historic field-system and which were removed in the later 19th or 20th century. They included two groups of linear
anomalies (13 and 14) representative of the curvilinear field boundaries of a former strip field system and which are depicted on the c.1838 Tithe Map.
[Anomaly group 9 which looked to be a linear boundary offset from the other boundaries in the current field system appears to be one of the angled field boundaries depicted on the Tithe Map.]
