Turton, S. D., 1997, SWWSL Croyde sewage treatment scheme. Archaeological assesment and preliminary survey, 3-4 (Report - Assessment). SDV365964.
An assessment including a walkover survey was undertaken as part of an environmental assessment for the proposed location for the Croyde Sewage Treatment Works. A field to the north-east of site B is named as 'Long Stone' in 1839 (Field No. 1108). The name suggests the possible presence of a prehistoric standing stone or a marker or bondstone within a medieval field system. Bondstones were used to mark the corners of the furlongs or the strips themselves.
The lane to the east is Longstone Lane suggesting that the 'stone' was a prominent feature at one time.
