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

Possible former field boundaries of potential medieval date are visible as earthwork ditches on Lidar-derived images of 2005, to the south of Denbow Cross. The former linear field boundaries are northeast to southwest aligned and occupy an area of 1.89 hectares of gentle northwest facing slope. The boundaries closely respect the historic field patterns depicted on the parish tithe map of approximately 1838-48, although appear to have passed out of use by this time. The former field boundaries were not clearly visible on other aerial photographs or digital images made available to the survey.
