Sims, R., Knight, S. & Houghton, E., 2020-2021, East Devon AONB Lidar Assessment and Desk based Assessment (Interpretation). SDV363914.

A series of narrow curvilinear ditches are visible as earthworks on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2016 southeast of Whitmoor. The ditches do not correspond with any features depicted on historic maps. They follow the topographic contours from approximately east to west across a south facing field and appear to lead from a stream or leat flowing along the west edge of the plot. The ditches are interpreted as the gutters of a post-medieval to 19th century catch meadow irrigation system.
