Hegarty, C., Knight, S. and Sims, R., 2018-2019, The South Devon Coast to Dartmoor Aerial Investigation and Mapping Survey. Area 1, Haldon Ridge to Dart Valley (AI&M) (Interpretation). SDV361305.
Linear cropmarks which have formed over levelled ditches, less than 2m wide and northeast to southwest and northwest to southeast aligned, are visible on digital images derived from aerial photographs captured in 2018. The cropmarks do not correspond with any linear features shown in this location on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, or on later available historic maps, but are partly in keeping with the historic field pattern depicted in this location which is characterised as medieval strip fields. The cropmarks are therefore interpreted as relict field boundaries of potential medieval date which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century.
