Full description
Archaeological Services Durham University, 2011, Land at Cowflop Cross, Beaford, Devon. Geophysical Survey, 7 (Report - Geophysical Survey). SDV349538.
Geophysical survey recorded several anomalies possibly representing former field boundaries or a double-ditched trackway. The date of these features is unknown, and they could be contemporary with the prehistoric enclosure in this field. Only one of the features, which crosses the enclosure circuits, is shown as a former field boundary on early Ordnance Survey maps.
