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

A north-east to south-west orientated curvilinear bank circa 6m wide is visible as an earthwork on images derived from lidar data captured in 2016. The bank does not correspond to any features depicted on historic maps. The bank is flanked by a ditch, which extends down the slope from near a stream head to the west, and is interpreted as natural drainage. A similar ditch to the west is also interpreted as drainage. The bank has a more deliberate form however, and is interpreted as a field boundary of medieval to post-medieval origin, that passed out of use prior to circa 1840.
