Hegarty, C., Knight, S. and Sims, R., 2019-2020, The South Devon Coast to Dartmoor Aerial Investigation and Mapping Survey. Area 2, Avon Valley to Plymouth (AI&M, formerly NMP) (Interpretation). SDV362982.

Curvilinear earthworks of a bank, flanked on either side by ditches, between 7m and 10m wide and east to west aligned, are visible on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013. The earthworks do not correspond with any curvilinear features shown in this location on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, or on later available historic maps. They are interpreted as a ditch and double banked relict field boundary of potential medieval date which had passed out of us use the mid-19th century. The field boundary has been truncated by an earthwork gutter of catch meadow system MDV127422.
