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

A curvilinear earthwork bank is visible on images derived from lidar data captured between 2005 and 2010. At approximately 3 metres wide, it is interpreted as a relict field boundary bank of possible medieval origin. It is not visible on the available aerial photographs, and it may be very slight. No boundaries are depicted in this location on the available historic maps, suggesting that it fell out of use prior to the mid-twentieth century.
