Full description

Berry, N., 2009, Land at Compton Castle, Devon, 45 (Report - Survey). SDV347354.

Arrangement of earthbanks directing water from springs in the centre of the large field north of Marldon. The historic maps show a number springs in this low-lying area that drains from west-east. The banks recorded during the survey match those shown on the 1887 map. Although the other field boundaries here have been removed these substantial features survive with a small narrow area of scrubby woodland. These should be conserved. Other details: Site Inventory map (1) 012.
