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.

Two linear and parallel earthwork banks, circa 4.5m wide and northwest to southeast aligned, are visible on aerial photographs taken in 1946. The short sections of bank do not correspond with any linear features shown in this location on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, or on later available historic maps. They are interpreted as possible relict field boundaries of medieval or post-medieval date which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century. The earthworks are not visible on the available aerial imagery after 1946 and their survival is unknown.
