Holley, S., 2006, A Survey of the Charcoal-burning Platforms at Goodameavy, Devon, 23, C4 (Report - Survey). SDV360386.

Charcoal burning platform in Dewerstone Wood in good condition. Platform cut into the hillside with 5 metres diameter.

Hegarty, C., Knight, S. and Sims, R., 2019-2020, The South Devon Coast to Dartmoor Aerial Investigation and Mapping Survey. Area 2, Avon Valley to Plymouth (AI&M, formerly NMP) (Interpretation). SDV362982.

Two roughly D-shaped platforms or hollows are identifiable on visualisations derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017 as earthworks circa 7m and 9m across, cut into the south-facing slope under Dewerstone Wood.
It is probable that one of these is the same as the feature interpreted as a charcoal burning platform by the above authority.
The earthworks are obscured from view by dense tree cover on all aerial photographs available to the survey.
