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 (Interpretation). SDV361305.

Curvilinear earthwork ditches are visible on digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017, parallel to the northwest and north facing slope of a hillside, east of Yeatt Cross, Denbury and Torbryan. The earthworks do not correspond with any features in this location on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, or on subsequent available historic maps. They are interpreted as a possible relict field boundary of medieval or post-medieval date which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century.
