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 series of dark linear and curvilinear cropmarks is visible on digital images derived from aerial photographs taken in 2018. The narrow, intersecting cropmarks typically measure less than 3m wide and are northeast to southwest and northwest to southeast aligned. Their form closely resembles patterned marks of geological origin. They have, nonetheless, been recorded given the density of prehistoric activity recorded in this area. The cropmarks have not been transcribed during this survey but are defined by the monument polygon.
