Full Description
A removed field boundary of probable post-medieval date is visible as a low earthwork on aerial photographs, centred at circa SS 84263602 to the north-west of Withypool. The curved earthwork is over 100 metres long in total but is very diffuse; in places it has been spread by as much as 15 metres by the plough. The earthwork can be seen to cross the contours of the hillslope and with other similar boundaries in the vicinity of Withypool, probably fossilises the boundaries of strip fields of medieval origin. [1-4] The boundary is visible on the Tithe Map for Withypool. [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]
