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

Several north-west to south-east orientated curvilinear banks between circa 15m and 8m in width are visible as earthworks on images derived from lidar data captured in 2016. They do not correspond with any features depicted on historic maps. The correspond approximately with the contours of the slope but appear non-natural in form. The banks are interpreted as field boundaries of medieval to post-medieval origin, that passed out of use prior to circa 1840.
