Full Description
A probable medieval field boundary is visible on aerial photographs as an earthwork to the north east of Bredwick Cottages, Kentisbury. Centred at approximately SS 6452 4326, the bank runs in a southwest to northeast direction for approximately 40 metres before turning 90 degrees and running southeast to northwest for 100 metres. The bank varies in width from 2 to 4 metres, with the shorter section appearing the narrowest. The bank appears to form one corner of a rectangular enclosure, which lies on a similar alignment to extant field boundaries in the area. However, it is not depicted on the 1st Edition Ordnance Survey map, suggesting it was abandoned prior to the publication date of 1889. [1-4] The boundary is not depicted on the Kentisbury Tithe Map. [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]
