MDE20528 - Possible medieval deserted farmstead north of Tattiscombe (Monument)

SS 6305 4661. Low banks on aerial photographs suggesting building remains and enclosures. Possibly deserted farm site at Tattiscombe. [1-3] Tattiscombe alias Tatscombe was Totescoma in Domesday. It was held by William de Lestre of the Count of Mortain. Before the Conquest it was held by Edric. Early descents are given. [4] The earthworks transcribed by McDonnell [3] may include features recorded by RCHME and the Exmoor National Mapping Project as a mine shaft and spoil heap (see MMO287). Further investigation is required to confirm if these are two separate features or if a misidentification has occurred. [6]
