Sims, R., Knight, S. & Houghton, E., 2020-2021, East Devon AONB Lidar Assessment and Desk based Assessment (Interpretation). SDV363914.
Short curvilinear ditches forming a H-shape are visible as earthworks on images derived from lidar data captured in 2016. The ditches do not correspond with any features depicted on historic maps. They are situated within an orchard plot that has been in situ since the Tithe Survey (Plot 42). A small orchard plot is situated to the east (Plot 43), recorded as combined with Plot 42.
The ditches are interpreted as possible field boundaries of medieval to post-medieval origin, compartmentalising a series of small plots or small orchard plots that were combined prior to circa 1840.
