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.
A linear earthwork ditch or hollow up to circa 18m wide and 200m long is visible on the south-west facing combe slopes south of Luton.
The visible earthwork corresponds with a field boundary depicted on the Tithe Map for Bishopsteignton but not the Ordnance Survey First Edition 25inch map. The relict ditch is interpreted as the remains of a former field boundary potentially of medieval to post-medieval date, that was removed between circa 1840 and 1880.
