Abstract:		 CAU carried out a project in May 2017 for repair works to a field boundary at a tor enclosure on Helman Tor, involving a rapid DBA, recording of the hedge prior to the works using annotation of survey of 1984, profile drawing, photography; and watching brief during ground-disturbing works. The form and character of the hedge bank and the repairs were recorded and evidence for the origin and development of the boundary discussed; no complex stratigraphy or features were found. The desk-top study and field work together indicate that hedge bank itself does not from part of the Neolithic tor enclosure. The hedge is considered to have been made in its present form during post-medieval times to serve as a stock-proof field boundary, incorporating, east of the tor enclosure, part of an earlier boundary attached to the latter and possibly medieval in date. A potential historical context for this adaptation of the medieval field system is the development of tin streaming and associated stimulus to farming in the area in post-medieval times.
