Hegarty, C. + Knight, S. + Sims, R., 2013-2014, South Devon Coast Rapid Coastal Zone Assessment Survey National Mapping Programme Project (Interpretation). SDV351146.
A linear bank, 100 metres long by 2 metres wide, is visible as an earthwork on aerial photographs taken between 1983 and 2007. It is not visible on historic mapping or on aerial photographs taken in 1945, when the whole area was rough ground, but by 1951 the area to the east was in cultivation. It is likely that that the bank was created during preparation of this ground for cultivation in the late 1940s or early 1950s. A substantial earthwork appears to survive.
