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.

Dark linear cropmarks, interpreted as having formed over buried ditches, circa 3m wide, are visible on digital images derived from oblique aerial photographs taken in 2018. The cropmarks define a rectangular enclosure which measures circa 70m long by 57m wide, with angular corners visible to the northwest and southwest. The eastern half of the enclosure is less distinct than its western half. The morphology of the cropmarks suggests an Iron Age or Roman date. The cropmarks are not visible on other available aerial imagery.
