Hegarty, C. + Knight, S., 2011 - 2012, North Devon Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty National Mapping Programme Project (Interpretation). SDV349018.

Former field boundaries of probable post-medieval date are visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs of the 1940s onwards, to the south of Westward Ho!, Abbotsham parish. The cropmarks correspond with field boundaries depicted on the 1840 tithe map for Abbotsham, but are not depicted on the Ordnance Survey 25inch first edition map of the 1880s-1890s. The field boundaries had therefore probably passed out of use between 1840 and 1890.
