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.

Linear earthwork banks, circa 7m wide and northeast to southwest aligned, are visible on digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017. The outer two earthworks possibly correspond with field boundaries shown on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, although the central banks do not correspond with any field boundaries on this map, or later available historic maps. They are interpreted as relict field boundaries of potential medieval date.
