Full description
Horner, B., 1995, DAP/XQ, Devon County Council DAP/XQ 29 29-JUN-1995 (Aerial Photograph). SDV319974.
The possible ring ditch is visible as a cropmark ditch.
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 possible ring ditch is fairly poorly defined, subcircular in shape and measures approximately 9.7m in diameter. The cropmarks are perhaps more likely to be agricultural or geological in origin, although were recorded given their proximity to a much larger ring ditch recorded approximately 130m to the east.
Hegarty, C. + Knight, S. + Sims, R., 2014-2015, East and Mid Devon River Catchments National Mapping Programme Project (Interpretation). SDV356883.
