Full description
University of Southampton, 2018, North Devon Rapid Coastal Zone Assessment Survey Desk-Based Assessment, FID4475 (Interpretation). SDV361978.
Sinuous marshy channels depicted on late 19th century and early 20th century OS 25 inch maps, possibly indicating former infilled channels of the Yeo. If so they could retain potential for palaeoenvironmental material, but they have been built over since the early 20th century.
