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 an earthwork ditch on digital images derived from Lidar data captured in 2005, to the east of Woodcocks Well. The slightly curvilinear ditch is northeast to southwest aligned and generally respects the historic field patterns depicted on the parish tithe map of approximately 1838-48, although appears to have passed out of use by this time. The former boundary was not clearly visible on other aerial photographs or digital images made available to the survey.
