Knight, S., 2012, Backlog Input Element of the North Devon Coast AONB National Mapping Programme Project (Interpretation). SDV350734.

No date is attributed to this cropmark feature, which is contiguous with a field boundary depicted on the Tithe map, but is not itself depicted on any available historic mapping. It is likely to be a medieval or post-medieval boundary that went out of use by the mid nineteenth century. It is unclear which, if any, MORPHE record this feature relates to.
