Summary
Earthworks of a ditch flanked on each side by banks, interpreted as evidence of a possible former medieval or post-medieval trackway, are visible on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013. The possible trackway had passed out of use by the mid-19th century.

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 linear ditch, circa 7m wide, flanked on either side by banks, circa 2m wide, are visible on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013. The northeast to southwest aligned earthworks do not correspond with any features shown on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, or on later available historic maps. They do, however, extend from the point of two intersecting trackways (SX74505234) shown on historic maps to the southeast. They are therefore interpreted as possible evidence of a former medieval or post-medieval trackway which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century.
