Summary
Narrow ridge and furrow is visible as earthworks in five adjacent fields on aerial photographs from 1946, interpreted as the result of modern deep ploughing for agricultural improvement of land. The earthworks in the field centred on SS26442594 may have been levelled by 1959, and earthworks in the other fields may have been levelled since 1959.

Hegarty, C. + Knight, S., 2011-2012, North Devon Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty National Mapping Programme Project (Interpretation). SDV349018.
Narrow ridge and furrow approximately 5 metres apart is visible as earthworks across five adjacent fields on aerial photographs from 1946, presumably the result of modern deep ploughing for better drainage of land. On aerial photographs of 1959 no earthworks are visible within one of the fields (centred at SS2644225942), but the ridges are still clearly visible within the other four. However as no earthworks are visible on more recent photographs it is possible that they have since been levelled.
