Lynchets approximately 34m north-west of Saunton Sands Hotel is a scheduled ancient monument consisting of terraced agricultural features created through medieval and post-medieval cultivation practices. The site preserves evidence of strip field systems typical of historic farming in north Devon, with the lynchets themselves representing the accumulation of soil created by centuries of ploughing along contour lines on sloping ground. These features demonstrate the intensive management of marginal agricultural land and reflect patterns of land use and settlement that characterised the medieval and early modern periods in this coastal region.
