Hegarty, C. + Knight, S. + Sims, R., 2016-2018, The Blackdown Hills AONB and East Devon River Catchments National Mapping Programme Project (Interpretation). SDV359463.

Interconnected curvilinear earthwork banks are visible on aerial photographs taken in 1947 and on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2014. They manifest in a similar way to relict field boundaries that are depicted on the Tithe map and one segment appears to be a continuation of a boundary depicted on the late-19th century OS map. They are interpreted as the relict remains of former medieval or post-medieval field boundaries that fell out of use by the mid-19th century.
