Two closely parallel subtle earthwork ditches are visible.

Sims, R., Knight, S. & Houghton, E., 2020-2021, East Devon AONB Lidar Assessment and Desk based Assessment (Interpretation). SDV363914.

Two subtle earthwork ditches are visible as earthworks on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2016. The ditches are closely parallel and match the form of nearby earthwork ditches that correspond with a former field boundary depicted on the Tithe Map. The ditches are therefore interpreted as a further former field boundary of medieval to post-medieval origin that passed out of use prior to circa 1840.
