Hegarty, C. + Knight, S. + Sims, R., 2014-2015, East and Mid Devon River Catchments National Mapping Programme Project (Interpretation). SDV356883.

A linear earthwork ditch, circa 7 metres wide, is visible on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2014. It is similar in appearance and on the same alignment as the earthworks interpreted as a relict medieval strip field system to the east (MDV113296) and may be a continuation of this feature. It is not depicted on the Tithe Map, so was not a functioning boundary in the mid-19th century.
