Hegarty, C., Knight, S. and Sims, R., 2018-2019, The South Devon Coast to Dartmoor Aerial Investigation and Mapping Survey. Area 1, Haldon Ridge to Dart Valley (AI&M) (Interpretation). SDV361305.

Linear earthworks of banks and ditches, between 4-12m wide, are visible on aerial photographs taken from 1946 onwards and on digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017, at Pear Tree Farm, Denbury and Torbryan. The parallel earthworks are northeast to southwest aligned and are in keeping with the historic field pattern depicted in this location on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, although they do not correspond with any linear features shown on this map, or on subsequent available historic maps. They are interpreted as relict field boundaries of medieval or post-medieval date which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century.
