Hegarty, C. + Knight, S. + Sims, R., 2014-2015, East and Mid Devon River Catchments National Mapping Programme Project (Interpretation). SDV356883.

The north-west side and parts of the south-west and east-facing sides of a possible ditched enclosure of probable later prehistoric to Roman date were visible on aerial photographs as a cropmark on a south-west facing spur north-east of Reed’s Cottages, Broad Clyst. The southern edge of the possible enclosure could not be confidently identified as a cropmark. It might have been disturbed on obscured by the establishment of the extant field boundary in this area, or by a further possible cropmark enclosure that appears to impinge on the south-western corner of the enclosure. The relationship between the two cropmark features is unclear and would possibly be clarified by geophysical survey.
