Exeter Archaeology, 2004, Summary Archaeological Assessment of the Proposed Site of the new Primary School, Halwill Junction, 7 (Report - Assessment). SDV1968.

The line of the parish boundary was marked by trees in 1891 & 1907 & ran between the barrows sited here. The alignment of the road north from Halwill Junction formerly followed the parish boundary & was moved westward sometime in the late 19C. The Beaworthy Tithe Map shows a lane or track on the line of the parish boundary in this area.
