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.

Earthwork banks of a single curvilinear feature, circa 7m wide and northeast to southwest aligned, are visible on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2019. The earthworks correspond in part with two field boundaries shown on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map. They are interpreted as forming part of a single field boundary of potential medieval date which had mostly fallen out of use by the mid-19th century.
