Cornwall Archaeological Unit, 2001-2002, Tamar Valley National Mapping Programme Transcriptions and Database Records, DAP13298/11-12, SX4379/1-2 (Interpretation). SDV346287.

A field boundary ditch of unknown, but potential medieval, date is visible on aerial photographs.

Hegarty, C., Knight, S. and Sims, R., 2016, Backlog Recording of the Tamar Valley National Mapping Programme Survey (Personal Comment). SDV359374.

Limited attribute data for this feature has been provided and it is unclear whether it is visible as cropmarks of an infilled ditch, or as an earthwork ditch. The feature, nonetheless, would appear to more likely represent a post-medieval to modern water channel and/or drain, rather than a field boundary. It is unclear if, or how, this earthwork is associated with deserted medieval settlement MDV29577 to the immediate south.
