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

Two parallel curvilinear ditches, just over a metre wide, are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs taken from 1947 onwards and on digital images visualised from photogrammetrically derived elevation data captured in 2014. No features are depicted in this exact location on the early-20th century mapping, and the Tithe or late-19th century maps for this area are not currently available to the project. The features are tentatively interpreted as the remains of a former catchmeadow gutters of post-medieval or 19th century origin that went out of use by the early-20th century.
