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 pale linear cropmark, interpreted as having formed over a levelled bank, circa 3.5m wide and northeast to southwest aligned, is visible on aerial photographs taken in 1969. The cropmark does not correspond with any linear features shown on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, although probably forms a continuation of a curvilinear field boundary shown on this map to the northeast. The cropmark is therefore interpreted as forming part of a more extensive field boundary of potential medieval date which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century.
