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

A former field boundary of potential medieval date is visible as a cropmark bank on aerial photographs of 1947, to the southwest of Stout Cottage. The relict boundary is linear in form, northwest to southeast aligned and closely respects the historic field patterns based on medieval strip fields. The boundary appears, however, to have passed out of use by the time of the parish tithe map of approximately 1838-48. Faint traces of the former bank were also possibly visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs of 1967.
