Full Description
Relict field boundaries depicted on the 1st and 2nd ed OS maps [1, 2] remain visible as banks in recent aerial photographs and LiDAR imagery [3]. The boundaries define three regular rectangular fields, and are in an area categorised as recently enclosed land, and are therefore likely of post medieval date. This record was created by Cornwall HER as part of the Forestry Commission's Project K [4].
