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.

Two parallel dark linear cropmarks, each between one and two metres wide and covering 16 metres in maximum total width, are visible on aerial photographs taken in drought conditions in 2018. They may have been a continuation of a field boundary on the same alignment approximately 40 metres to the east. No boundary is depicted in this location on the available historic mapping, and any boundary here would presumably have gone out of use by the mid-19th century.
