- None recorded
Full Description
Two fragmentary short lengths of earthwork bank visible on aerial photographs, centred on circa SS 7173 4557 on the northwestern slope of Ilkerton Ridge, Lynton and Lynmouth parish, are probably the remains of footpaths or tracks of post-medieval date. The banks run parallel to the field boundaries above the West Lyn River, and therefore post date the enclosure of the fields, presumably during the medieval period or later. [1-3] A footpath is depicted in this location on the 25 inch 1st Edition Ordnance Survey map, following the edge of the Common. [4] The path is also shown on the Tithe Map for Lynton and Lynmouth. [5] This record was enhanced as part of the National Record of the Historic Environment to Exmoor National Park Historic Environment Record data transfer project. [6]
