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.
Earthworks of a slight oval hollow, circa 14m long by 10m wide, enclosed by a bank, circa 7m wide, are visible on visualisations derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017. The earthworks do not correspond with any features in this location on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, or on later available historic maps. Their proximity to possible Bronze Age field system MDV126751 to the east adds some support to the interpretation that they are the remains of a Bronze Age or Iron Age hut circle or enclosure.
