Simpson, S. J. + Griffith, F. M., 1991, Untitled Source (Site Visit). SDV234654.

Adam, N., 2004, Archaeological field evaluation of the proposed Week to North Tawton 33kV underground cable route (Report - Evaluation). SDV320080.
An evaluation was undertaken by AC Archeaology in 2004 along a cable trench to the east running from SS64660190 to SS65140142. A total of 26 trenches were excavated between Week & North Tawton but no archaeological features or artefacts were exposed.

Linear banks have been transcribed during this survey.
