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.

Cropmarks of two curvilinear ditches are visible on digital images derived from aerial photographs of 2010 on the south-facing slopes south of Tetwell Farm.
The ditches are approximately 2m wide, almost 60m long and spaced 5 to 6m apart. Roughly L-shaped in plan, the ditches appear to form the north-west corner of a rectilinear enclosure. The visible cropmarks enclose a roughly trapezium shaped area up to circa 34m across, also visible as a darker crop, but the enclosure could extend into neighbouring fields as a buried feature.
The enclosure is interpreted as probably Iron Age to Roman in date.
