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.

A linear earthwork bank, circa 5m wide and northwest to southeast aligned, is visible on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013. The earthwork does not correspond with any linear features shown on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, or on later available historic maps, but is in keeping with the historic field pattern depicted in this location, which is characterised as medieval strip enclosures. The earthwork is therefore interpreted as a relict field boundary of potential medieval date which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century.
