Dark curvilinear cropmarks are visible.

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.

Curvilinear earthwork ditches, between 2 and 7 metres wide, are visible on digital images of lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017, and some are visible on earlier aerial photographs from 1946 onwards. One appears to be a continuation of an extant field boundary, and they are interpreted as the remains of former field boundaries of medieval or post-medieval date. Most appear to survive as earthworks, although one is visible only as a dark cropmark on aerial photographs taken in 2002.
