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 platform approximately 30 metres square is visible on digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017, as an earthwork terraced into the north-east facing slopes south of Shiverstone Farm. The visible earthwork does not correspond with any features depicted on the 19th-century maps available to the survey. The date and function of the platform are unknown, but it is interpreted as possible evidence of a former settlement. Possibly a farmstead, of medieval to 19th century date.
