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

A possible former field boundary of potential medieval date is visible as an earthwork ditch on aerial photographs of 1947 onwards, to the north of Sharland’s Copse. The slightly curvilinear boundary is northnortheast to southsouthwest aligned and closely respects the historic field patterns depicted on the parish tithe map, although it appears that this boundary had passed out of use by this time. The former boundary ditch appears to be truncated by a later, post-medieval catch meadow gutter. The earthwork ditch remains visible on digital images derived from Lidar data captured between 2005-2012.
