Full Description
A relict field boundary west of Parsonage Farm, Porlock, is depicted by the 1st and 2nd ed OS maps (1, 2). The boundary is not depicted on the Tithe and appears to have been short-lived, as it was not extant in 1946; it remains visible as a slight earthwork bank in aerial photos (2020) and LiDAR (3). This record was created by Cornwall HER as part of the Forestry Commission Project K (4).
