Hegarty, C., Houghton, E., Knight, S. and Sims, R., 2020-2021, Tamar/Lidar; A Single Source Approach to Landscape Survey and Socially Distanced Community Archaeology Area 2 (Culture Recovery Fund project) (Interpretation). SDV364011.
Numerous linear banks, approximately 2.5 metres wide, are visible as earthworks on images derived from lidar data captured in 2013, and as pale cropmarks on digital images captured from 2010 onwards. They form a system of long narrow fields, many of which are depicted on the historic mapping, and are interpreted as the remains of medieval field boundaries. Only one visible segment, which presumably fell out of use by the mid-19th century, was not depicted on the historic mapping, and this was the only part that was transcribed.
