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

Several mounds each circa 6m across are visible as earthworks on images derived from lidar data captured in 2016. They are positioned in a cluster, and appear to have small depressions within them. They do not correspond with any features depicted on historic maps and are interpreted as possible post-medieval to 19th century spoil heaps associated with prospecting pits.
