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.
A bank circa 12m wide and 150m long is identifiable on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2019 as an earthwork on the south-east facing combe slopes to the west of Shilston Barton.
The visible earthwork does not correspond with any boundary depicted on the Ordnance Survey 25inch First Edition map but is in keeping with the regular character of the surrounding post-medieval enclosure pattern.
The earthwork is interpreted as the spread remains of a field boundary bank of probable post-medieval date that was cleared prior to circa 1880.
