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 linear earthwork ditch, up to circa 13 metres wide, is visible on images derived from lidar data captured in 2013. No features are depicted in this exact location on the available historic mapping, although the earthwork could be a continuation of a field boundary depicted immediately to the west on the 19th century mapping. It is very broad and shallow, and not visible on other available aerial imagery, and is tentatively interpreted as the remains of a medieval or post-medieval field boundary.
