Turton, S. D. + Weddell, P. J., 1996, Archaeological Assessment of Manor Road to Harbour Road Link (North), Seaton, 4 (Report - Assessment). SDV348484.
Underfleet marks the western boundary of the reclaimed marshes. During construction work on the southern part of the link road between Manor Road and Harbour Road in 1994 traces of a possible infilled trackway were observed slightly west of the present Underfleet where it runs alongside Harbour Road car park. At SY24659028 where the proposed new road will breach the trackway it is marked on its west side by a 1 metre deep ditch which continued north and south.
