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

A curvilinear bank circa 190m long and 18m wide is visible as a subtle earthwork on images derived from lidar data captured in 2016. It does not correspond with any features depicted on historic or modern maps. It appears to align approximately with a trackway to the north-east first depicted in the mid to late 20th century. The bank is interpreted as a field boundary of medieval to post-medieval origin, that passed out of use prior to circa 1840. Alternatively it could be an unmapped mid to late 20th century section of trackway.
