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

Curvilinear earthwork banks and ditches are visible on images derived from lidar data captured in 2016. One bank appears to be a continuation of a field boundary depicted on the Tithe map, which is parallel to a ditch to the east. The latter appears to have two perpendicular curvilinear offshoots to the south. These subtle features are interpreted as the remains of medieval field boundaries.
