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 bank, circa 3m wide and northwest to southeast aligned, is visible on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2019. The earthwork does not correspond with any linear features shown on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, or on later available historic maps, but is in keeping with the surrounding historic field pattern, which is characterised as Barton fields. The earthwork is therefore interpreted as a relict field boundary of post-medieval date which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century.
