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

A former field boundary of potential medieval date is visible as an earthwork bank on aerial photographs of 1946 onwards and on digital images based on LiDAR data captured between 1998-2012, at Lympstone. The boundary, which is north to south aligned, closely respects the historic field patterns based on medieval strip fields and appears to have fallen out of use by the time of the parish tithe map of approximately 1838-48. The field boundary remains visible as an earthwork bank on digital images based on LiDAR data captured between 1998-2012.
