Full description
Devon County Council, 1985, DAP 5498, DAP 5498/12 18-JUL-1985 (FF) (Aerial Photograph). SDV361677.
A linear cropmark of a ditch is visible.
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 linear ditch approximately 1m wide and circa 170 long is visible on aerial photographs of 1985 on the north and west facing slopes overlooking Brown’s Brook, to the North of Holcombe Down Road.
The date of the ditched feature is unknown. It may be evidence of a boundary associated with a ditched enclosure of probable prehistoric date to the west (MDV37375). Alternatively, the insubstantial nature of the cropmark might support an interpretation of a slight feature, such as a modern water supply.
