Environment Agency, 1998-2008, Lidar Data JPEG Tile SX73NE DSM, LIDAR SX73NE DSM Enviornment Agency MAY-1998-APR-2008 (Cartographic). SDV351145.

Hegarty, C. + Knight, S. + Sims, R., 2013-2014, South Devon Coast Rapid Coastal Zone Assessment Survey National Mapping Programme Project (Interpretation). SDV351146.

The remains of a roughly north-south aligned former field boundary of possible medieval date is visible as an earthwork bank on LiDAR images dating to 1998-2008, southwest of East Prawle. The bank is approximately 7m wide and generally respects the existing field pattern based on medieval strip fields. The field boundary appears, however, to have passed out of use by the time of the Chivelstone parish tithe map of between 1838-48 and was not visible on aerial photographs made available to the survey.
