Banks and ditches recorded.

Hughes, V., 2012, Atlantic Array Onshore Cable Route and Substation, Bideford, Devon. Archaeological Evlauation Report, 17; Fig 10; Trench 21 (Report - Evaluation). SDV349995.

An east-west linear ditch excavated within Trench 21, circa 20 metres north of an extant field boundary and road, on a parallel alighnment. The ditch was 1.4 metres wide, 0.5 metre deep. No datable finds, but the alignment suggests that it is part of a post-medieval field system, probably the northern boundary of a former field track.
