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

Former field boundaries of potential medieval date are visible as cropmark ditches on aerial photographs of 1945 onwards and on digital images derived from aerial photographs taken in 2012, within Exeter Golf and Country Club, Countess Wear, Exeter. The two flanking former boundary ditches are T-Shaped in plan and northwest to southeast and northeast to southwest aligned. The cropmark ditches are spaced approximately 3m apart and are likely to have flanked a central hedgebank boundary. Whilst the northwest to southeast aligned boundary is depicted on historic mapping, the boundary ditches aligned to the northeast to southwest are not and may represent former strip field divisions which passed out of use by the time of the parish tithe map of approximately 1838-48. The former boundaries remain visible as cropmark ditches on digital images derived from aerial photographs taken in 2012.
