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.

A T-shaped bank, circa 5 metres wide and orientated north-east to south-west and north-west to south-east, is visible as a subtle earthwork on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2004 and 2013.
The earthwork does not correspond with any features shown in this location 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 medieval enclosures based on strip fields.
The form of the earthwork supports the interpretation that it is a relict field boundary of medieval or post-medieval date, that had been removed by the mid-19th century.

University of Exeter, 2020-2021, University of Exeter Unlocking Landscapes Project – validated data, ULDEV8 (Interpretation). SDV365999.

A rectangular earthwork enclosure is visible adjacent to the River Lyd. It measures circa 65m x 55m. The date of the earthworks is uncertain; it could be related to historic fieldscape i.e. a stock enclosure, but could be earlier.

Environment Agency, 2021, University of Exeter Understanding Landscapes Project - Lidar visualisation (Cartographic). SDV366001.

Linear banks are visible as incomplete and possible partly plough levellled earthworks.
