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, to the northeast of Higher Bingwell. The curvilinear earthwork ditch is northeast to southwest aligned and closely respects the historic field patterns of medieval enclosures based on strip fields, although the boundary appears to have passed out of use by the time of the parish tithe map of approximately 1838-48. The earthwork ditch is possibly visible on aerial photographs of 1994.
