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 cropmarks which have possibly formed over levelled ditches, circa 2m wide, are visible on aerial photographs taken in 1987, to the north of Summerlane Bridge, Teigngrace. The parallel cropmarks are northwest to southeast aligned and spaced circa 3.5m apart. They do not correspond with any linear features shown in this location on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, or on later available historic maps, but are in keeping with the historic field pattern depicted in this location and characterised as Medieval enclosures based on strip fields. The cropmarks are therefore interpreted as a relict double-ditched field boundary of potential medieval date which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century. The cropmarks are not visible on other available aerial imagery.
