Hegarty, C. + Knight, S. + Sims, R., 2014-2015, East and Mid Devon River Catchments National Mapping Programme Project (Interpretation). SDV356883.

Possible former field boundaries of potential medieval date are visible as two cropmark ditches on aerial photographs of 1947, to the south of Hawk Aller. The parallel northnortheast to southsouthwest aligned cropmarks generally respect the historic field patterns and possibly form part of a system of medieval strip fields, although appear to have passed out of use by the time of the parish tithe map of approximately 1838-48. The cropmarks were not clearly visible on other aerial photographs made available to the survey.
