Environment Agency, 1998-2017, LiDAR DTM data (1m resolution) EA: South Devon Coast to Dartmoor, LIDAR SX6445; SX6446 Environment Agency DTM 01-JAN-1998 to 31-MAY-2017 (Cartographic). SDV361470.

Linear and curvilinear banks are visible as earthworks.


Hegarty, C., Knight, S. and Sims, R., 2019-2020, The South Devon Coast to Dartmoor Aerial Investigation and Mapping Survey. Area 2, Avon Valley to Plymouth (AI&M, formerly NMP) (Interpretation). SDV362982.

Linear and curvilinear parallel banks, circa 9m wide and northwest to southeast aligned, are visible as earthworks on visualisations of lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017. The southern-most earthwork corresponds with a field boundary shown on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, although those to the north are not shown on this map or on later available historic maps. They are interpreted as field boundaries of possible medieval date which had partly fallen out of use by the mid-19th century. The southern-most field boundary has been removed by the mid-20th century.
