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

Parts of the north-west and north-east side of a possible ditched enclosure of probable later prehistoric to Roman date were visible as a cropmark forming a near right-angled corner on aerial photographs, on a south-west facing spur north-east of Reed’s Cottages, Broad Clyst.
The relationship between this possible enclosure and a further possible cropmark enclosure immediately to the north are not clear and would possibly be clarified by geophysical survey.
