Hegarty, C. + Knight, S. + Sims, R., 2014-2015, East and Mid Devon River Catchments National Mapping Programme Project (Interpretation). SDV356883.

Two curvilinear earthwork banks are visible on aerial photographs taken from 1989 and on images derived from lidar data captured in 2010. Up to 4 metres wide and circa 30 metres apart, they are interpreted as relict field boundary banks of possible medieval origin. No boundaries are depicted on the available historic maps, suggesting that any boundaries here fell out of use prior to the mid-twentieth century.
