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 digital images derived from Lidar data captured between 2005 and 2012, within Knightshayes Park. The slight northeast to southwest aligned earthwork closely 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. Other associated former earthwork boundaries are also visible on Lidar images, although are depicted on historic maps and so were not transcribed as part of this survey.
