Abbey, Devon

Earthworks between Dunkeswell Abbey and the Madford River

Uploader's Comments

The OS map shows some fishponds that belonged to the abbey, but those are on a tributary of the Madford. This raised bank may date from monastic times, or be more recent but its shape and the flat areas suggest a use such as fishponds.
