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.
A cropmark of a ditch 2m to 7m wide is visible defining a possible enclosure on the south-facing slopes of a combe to the west of Sandygate, Kingsteignton. The enclosed area is irregularly shaped but measures up to 50m long, north to south and 30m wide, east to west. A possible entrance is visible as a 5m wide break in the south-east facing side of the cropmark.
The cropmark was not noted on any other sources available to the survey. It is possible that the cropmark is natural in origin.
