The cropmark does not correspond with any anomalies from this survey.

Google, 2017, Google Earth Pro, EARTH.GOOGLE.COM 22-JUN-2018 ACCESSED 07-FEB-2019 (Aerial Photograph). SDV360456.

Cropmarks of a possible ditch are 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.

Dark linear cropmarks which have possibly formed over a levelled ditch, circa 1m wide and northeast to southwest aligned, are visible on digital images derived from aerial photographs taken in 2018. The partial cropmarks do not correspond with any linear features shown in this location on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, or on later available historic maps, but are broadly in keeping with the historic field pattern depicted in this location which is characterised as medieval enclosures. They are therefore interpreted as a possible relict field boundary of between medieval to post-medieval date which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century.
