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 banks and ditches on aerial photographs of 1969 and 1979, to the north of Lower Halsdon Farm, Exmouth. The former boundary is visible as a northeast to southwest aligned cropmark bank with evidence of two flanking cropmark ditches either side. A second northwest to southeast aligned and perpendicular cropmark bank is visible on its southeastern side. The cropmarks of the former field boundaries closely respect the historic field patterns based on medieval strip fields, although appear to have fallen out of use by the time of the parish tithe map of approximately 1838-48. The former field boundaries were not clearly visible on other aerial photographs or digital images made available to the survey.
