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

A pale linear cropmark, circa 125 metres in length and 2.5 metres wide, is visible on aerial photographs taken in 2010. It does not seem to conform with the curvilinear field boundaries of probable medieval origin depicted on the late-19th century OS maps in this area, and is considered most likely to have formed over the remains of the bank of a post-medieval field boundary that fell out of use before the 20th century. The Tithe Map for this area appears to have been damaged, so it is not clear whether there was a functioning boundary here in the mid-19th century.
