Hegarty, C. + Knight, S. + Sims, R., 2014-2015, East and Mid Devon River Catchments National Mapping Programme Project (Interpretation). SDV356883.
A cropmark which has formed over an infilled ditch of a possible former medieval or post-medieval field boundary is visible on aerial photographs of 1984, to the northwest of Sowton. The linear cropmark is northwest to southeast aligned and 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. The former field boundary is not visible on other aerial photographs made available to the survey.
