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 slight earthwork ditches on aerial photographs of 1947 onwards and on digital images derived from LiDAR data captured between 1998-2012, to the northwest of Lympstone. The two parallel earthwork ditches are northeast to southwest aligned and may represent the remains of a medieval strip field system. It could not be ascertained, however, whether the former boundaries are depicted on the Woodbury parish tithe map of approximately 1838-48 as this particular area is incomplete.
