Devon County Council, 1838-1848, Tithe Mosaic, approximately 1838-1848 (Cartographic). SDV349431.

The former field boundaries appear to have passed out of use by the time of the Cullompton parish tithe map of approximately 1838-48.

Ordnance Survey, 1967, OS/67039 V, OS/67039 V 74-75 18-APR-1967 (Aerial Photograph). SDV356901.

The former field boundaries are visible as a series of linear cropmark banks.

Jones-Lutescu, P, 2014, Land to the Northwest of Cullompton, Devon (Report - Assessment). SDV359834.

A historic environment assessment has been undertaken by AC archaeology during September and October 2014 as part of forthcoming planning applications for proposed mixed use development on c. 70 hectares of land to the northwest of Cullompton, Devon.

The two linear and parallel north to south aligned banks are poorly defined and appear to be heavily
plough-spread in places. The cropmark banks closely respect the historic field patterns and may form part of a series of medieval strip fields, although appear to have passed out of use by the time of the tithe map.
