Environment Agency, 1998-2017, LiDAR DTM data (1m resolution) EA: South Devon Coast to Dartmoor, LIDAR SX6151; SX6251 Environment Agency DTM 01-JAN-1998 to 31-MAY-2017 (Cartographic). SDV361470.

Narrow, curvilinear ditches 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.

Narrow, curvilinear ditches, less than 2m wide, are visible as earthworks on digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017. The earthwork channels follow the contours of the southeast facing combe slope and occupy an area of circa 4.1 hectares. They are interpreted as the gutters of a 19th century catch meadow irrigation system which was possibly associated with the farmstead of Addistone. It possibly tapped one of two, or both, spring-fed streams located to the northeast and southwest.
